I haven't even fully unwrapped the one you sent yet. That came right when I was effing with the XC 3-Pulley. Once I get around to it, I'll probably put that one up, as I dig the long cage units.

I actually think they're pretty cool looking derailleurs. When I had that on the 720 with the Helicomatic hub/freewheel- that was THE smoothest shifting combo I'd ever had. Like seriously thinking I missed a shift. It just slipped right into gear perfectly. No "ka-chunk" no "thud." Just the whirr of chain.

I'm thinking about scoring a nice Simplex or Huret FD and Frenchifying my Trek 400 Elance. Right now it's got Belleri bars, Maillard wheels and Stronglight cranks. Sachs/Huret ratcheting shifters (or the Hurets that [MENTION=226065]Metacortex[/MENTION] was talking about) or Simplex Retrofricton, Duopar RD and French FD. Right now it's rolling with Cyclone/Superbe stuff.
