Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If the der. says "racing triple" will it work with a 53 tooth outer chainring? Thanks again, Andy
Yes, it should. The Racing triple derailleurs were made for triples with 52t outer rings. They made the racing-T so they didn't have to make both Chorus and Record versions of this niche derailleur.

BTW- it you're looking to buy one, send me a PM. I have a few left still new in box from 2001 or so.
