Had worked on many bikes with these derailleurs and they always seemed decent; the Fuji's was up for replacement and Grant Petersen was raving about them at the time, so I stuck one on. Really, try one of these. They are the real deal, and cheap, to boot!
A friend tacoed his rear wheel on a trek 620. I replaced the derailleur with an altus I had laying around and it worked perfectly. Looks kinda dopey but hey, we are all bike geeks anyway.
