Summer of '63 bikes in the shops already had "steel" record RD, but some mix of record and match-box FD. At least in DC, where I lived then. Given the choice, I much prefer the steel record. It will support a 13 th high cog, and much larger low cogs than the GS. All this from just offsetting the cage pivot! harvey sachs mcLean va ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jon Crate wrote:
I ask [about the eBay GS] because I suspect the 1963 Paramount I'm going to be restoring in the spring would probably have used it. Am I correct about this, or is it too old for a 63?
