Kurt can speak for himself, but the way I read post 28, he was saying he thought the rear derailleur and the rims were put on later, probably at the same time.
That's what I was afraid someone was going to say. The Campagnolo LAMBDA 700 rims on my Paramount are very nice rims. I was just hoping someone would have said they could have been available in '78. Thanks!
