My 83 Trek is doing the exact same thing, skipping in the middle cogs. I've had a new chain, and the chain that was on it when I found it. It only skips slightly less than with the new chain. New cables, and RD is an NOS Cyclone M-II. The shifter "wingnuts" are tight. Should I try the old BL?,,,,BD
