Pic in Flikr link, quality not great, have not had time to pretty it up. Since I am not allowed to post links, try this after removing spaces:

Took pic of Campy rear derailleur - first time I've owned Campy mech, and if anyone can identify model for me, great! No numbers on it, only Campy bolt head and 'Made in Italy' on back.
Don't really worry about keeping bike original (but not going to alter frame/fork/paint), as it is obviously altered already. I want a nice riding steel bike, but love more gears as I live in hilly terrain and am a tad older (66, although on a recent bikepacking race w 60 lb mountain bike+equipment, I did 15,800 climbing feet in 107 miles one day on dirt/gravel roads. Previous day was easy, only 9,000 feet 111 miles
). Where was I? Oh yes, so will change out rear gear to cassette, 9 speed? and replace brakes, shifter/brake levers.
Thanks for replies!
