Hi List

Here's one way to gauge the market value Japanese derailleurs, compared to their Campagnolo counterparts.....

I recently scooped a '76 Shimano Crane rear derailleur on ebay, in very nice condition. Nearing the auction end, there were no other bids, so I popped in the starting price of $5, and it's now mine. We all know how much a '76 super record rear derailleur goes for.... apparently performance isn't everything.
