Hi All:

My 1995 Bianchi Eros just lost its rear derailleur. (It committed suicide by
jumping into the spokes and needs to be replaced.)

The derailleur is a 1995-vintage Campy Mirage and the bike has an 8 speed
cassette. Will a modern-day (i.e., 9 or 10 speed) version of the Mirage fit?

Also, does anyone have a suggestion as to where to obtain replacement parts
with reasonable shipping times?

You should NOT have any problems replacing your 1995 8 speed rear der
with a new, modern one. As long as the rear der has an adjusting
barrel, it should work. In fact, several of my friends have gone the
reverse route, using older 7 and 8 speed rear der with 9 speed cassette
and have no problem.

As for where to get, check out www.qbike.com oand AE bikescom.

Further, you may also want to check with your LBS, you may be surprise
with what they have laying around.
