I keep hearing how the Gran Sport wasn't the first parallelogram rear derailleur, or even that the Gran Sport was a copy of a Simplex design. Does anyone have a photo of a verifiably pre-GS parallelogram rear derailleur of any brand? I can't recall having seen an parallelogram-type earlier than the GS, although from past experience I wouldn't be the least surprised if someone had produced and marketed one. Probably in the 1890s!
