Gran Sport

Nuovo Record (I do not, and will never care for NR parallelogram angle or cage geometry, or any other derailer that shares it. Shifting into the small cog when on the big chainring is inevitably sloppy no matter what the adjustment)
Nuovo Gran Sport

Triomphe/Triomphe S3
980

Are you saying that you think Victory was top of the line, Kurt? Victory was a couple steps below C-Record. Not that the parts look it. My Guerciotti/Alen is all Victory - beautiful stuff!
edit: ooohhhh....never mind. Missed the point. Carry on.....
