I think the best and most correct use for it would be on a city bike. I've never seen a Sport in the US, but in Italy they are still to be seen on old soldier city bikes with upright bars and fenders. I think mounting it on any bike with drop bars would be strange.

That is, the jocky cage is fixed to the bottom of tha parallogram, and does not rotate. Instead, it is the top that pivots, and is spring loaded, AFAIK the only Campy RD with a spring loaded upper pivot until the Rally.
