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?
Cheap? I've never ordered from this place, myself:

That's approx. current price for used Chorus and even cheaper rear ders
on ebay, for instance.
It might be worth your while to go with the shop on this one-- did the
est. include any derailleur hanger work, or wheel work that might be
needed?
Committed suicide? I think the police report on this one might read
"jumped or was pushed" g --D-y
