I love that mech- Huret Success? There's something very "mechanical" about the look of those that I just find irresistible.
It's a Huret Duopar. It can handle a lot of chain better than most derailleurs. You have to baby it a bit when shifting under a load. That's true for any RD but this one needs it more than most. It's a fine RD; I used one on my 1982 Trek 720 when I did a cross country bike ride in '97.
