I like the Duopar's looks... and they work really really well. On the other hand it doesn't match the rest of your aesthetic there.

Too many stamped parts and too much plastic for my taste. The NR makes it look like cheap junk.

Then you need one of these:

Will it shift any better than a Nuovo Record with a Rally cage?

No, but it's lighter and more of a conversation piece. It's called a Huret Jubilee. I had one, in the short cage version and while it's not as good as a Nuovo Record, it's very good, and it's durable, too. The short cage version is still, I believe, the lightest rear derailleur ever made.

More of a conversation piece than a NR with a rally cage? I think not.
Better shifting? Not in my experience with the short cage version.
More durable than a NR? No way!
Lighter? Yes, but not so important to me.

French? Yes.
Better looking? Yes.

Didn't you ditch the DuoPar just because of looks?

Yep. I don't like painted stamped parts, even if they're titanium. Why did they paint the titanium anyway? It polishes beautifully.

French is good and it's a Peugeot, but everything else is Campy.

I think I traded it for a Stronglight 93.

No derailer is more beautiful to me than the NR. That's why I put up with its crappy shifting.

Let me clarify. The Huret Jubilee can't compare with the Campy Nuovo Record in quality, performance, anything. I'm just sayin' it's more of a novelty, only because it's rarer in the US than the Campy. OK, putting a long cage on an NR derailleur makes it an oddity, so you have a point, but a stock NR derailleur, while superior to the Jubilee in every way (except weight) is not that odd a bird. And the Jubilee isn't built like a tank, but it is reliable and durable in its own right.

Isnt the lighest derailleur ever made a plastic monstrocity from Czechoslovakia?

As for derailleur performance goes Ive run a number of diff derailleurs and I can say I barely notice one shifting much better than the other, I dont know I always have to laugh reading over such heated discussions over it. Depends on your freewheel range more than anything else I think, a 13-21 will shift like butter compared to a 13-26.

Okay, back to the PX10. Suggestions welcome is part of the title. I suggest that the fork appears bent. Anyone else see that? How about some more pics of the head tube and the top and down tubes behind the head tube. I hope it's just the camera angle.

Looks fine to me... I think it's camera angle. Sherwood1, how about some close ups on the fork and bottoms of the top and down tubes?

I hope it's not bent! I've straightened a few forks. The cheap ones are easy. 531 forks are HARD to bend!
