In terms of shifting quality, almost nothing is better then a Duopar on cog sets with a small small and a big 32+ big sprocket. The problem comes in if you don't have it feathered just right and then you pedal back wards. It won't break the mech if you stop it and clear any jammed chain, but it is a PITA and it gets your hands dirty. The look is just the look - it's amazing that Huret made a piece with such great functionality with the folded-sheet metal technology they did use. Superbe, but flawed. Still, I have two in use.
