That's the cheaper Rally. It's a truly awful derailleur. The other distinguishing feature is that the pivot bolts take a 13mm box end wrench, rather than a 6mm allen like the good Rally. I don't remember which came first. But I became aware of the good one before the bad one. I ordered some of the bad ones thinking it was just a slightly cheapened version of the good one. Big mistake.

Okay, here's another one I've got a question or two about. I have a Campagnolo Rally derailleur - looks somewhat similar to an N. Record but with a long cage. Every other Rally I've seen is more along the lines of the slant para. body (is that the right terminology - where the body of the derailleur is turned 90 degrees, like modern derailleurs) - this one isn't. Is this an earlier, rarer, less rare model ? Is it considered a decent one ? I looked in the Archives but it wasn't clear to me always which model of Rally I was reading about.

Thanks,
