Gian Robert System

Gian Robert System derailleur main image

In the late 1970s Gian Robert bowed to the inevitable and adopted aluminium knuckles on their mid and high-end models.

The System was their mid range model, with steel parallelogram plates and pulley cage plates.

I should note that I am particularly unclear about the dates of the various Gian Robert models.
