Funny you should say that. When I first saw that Univega pic, my intial reaction was one of disdain. But, after some reflection, I considered someone actually did a fair job considering what there was to work with.

Oh! I never saw that little detail. Then, maybe we're not speaking of the same dude? Would you happen to know where I could find that thread? I'm considering a little barter to acquire one of those Mega RD's for a project. The thing looks brand new, and I like the cage design with the large, red jockey wheel on the bottom. Matches my mtn bike!

If he ordered from McMaster-Carr, he might have found one...but he didn't.

I doubt it: 10mm x 1 is a rare "extra fine" pitch you don't find in most auto parts or hardware stores (certainly not here in FRISCO, anyway!)...the "standard" thread pitch for 10mm is 1.5 and the "fine pitch" (1.25) is actually more common than this bicycle-specific pitch. And all that is a bit of a kludge anyway since a real Campy/Italian hanger is 10M x 26tpi and the 1mm pitch is just a "close enough" fit that works.
If he ordered from McMaster-Carr, he might have found one...but he didn't.

I hadn't taken into account the make of the dropouts/hanger. Kludge? More like fudged!
