Stevan- I don't know what the catalogs say, but I know that a bunch of these were posted on ebay from some british source. They are obviously better than the old steel model thing. Out of pure obscurity, these probably have significant value to mid-line bikes. I recall seeing one of these things on a schwinn paramounts many years ago. cheers, Dave in MT

         I'm trying to date a Campy Turismo rear derailleur that looks exactly like a cadmium plated version of the later Gran Sport, with the exception of stamped cage pulley cage plates. I found the 1970 Gran Turismo in Chuck's time line, but not this one. It has the "no teeth" ball bearing pulleys common to the earlier ones. Any clue to the years of production? It's not in Catalogue 13 or 14. Stevan Thomas Alameda, CA
