Hey, my name's Paul Walker. As way of introduction, I own Firehouse Bikes in Philadelphia. We sell used bikes, including a lot of classic lightweights. Right now we've got a 60s Paramount tandem, a Jim Redcay, a 1980 Raleigh Professional we're listing on Ebay, a 70s Arctic, and lots of other fun stuff. I'm writing because I have a derailleur that looks like a super record rear derailleur from the 70s, with the stippled aluminum face plate (instead of the flat one I associate with 80s super record derailleurs). The plate says "Nuovo Record". The other parts of the derailleur have the black super record finish. What gives?
