After stdying Frank Berto's book, I realized that the reason that the Campy NR shifts so poorly is that there is too much chain gap. It has Simplex dropouts and the hanger has been modified to accept the Campy derailer. The derailer was too vertical, leaving too wide a gap between the pulley and the cogs. I just reshaped the stop with a Dremel and it made a huge difference. I'm going to keep the Peugeot a "10 speed".

I saw your offer and I appreciate it. I may get back to you soon. I'm still in the brainstorming stage.
