I have an old Santana tandem with TA/Mafac/Campy equipment. It was an early triple crank... the issue is that the front derailleurs in the early to mid '70s were designed for double chain rings. My (well worn) Campy Record unit won't quite reach no matter how I adjust it and the BB. I'm looking for a replacement that is of reasonable quality and has a 1" clamp. (I know that quite a few mail-order shops are represented here.) Given that I *must* shim, what modern derailleur would *you* use on a vintage bike? I'm more into the antique equipment and haven't really kept up to date, I fear. In your opinion, what's the best "bang for the buck" in, say, a $60 unit? Jones Just about any modern triple will work, and only Record, Chorus, and Dura-Ace cost over $60. |
