DISRAELI GEARS
This is a identity parade of long cage derailleurs weighing less than 213g excluding hanger plate. I chose ‘less than 213g’ as the cut off because the relatively modern, supposedly lightweight, Shimano Dura-Ace (7700 GS) weighs in at 212g.
Note that the long cage Huret Jubilee (2248) is one of the lightest derailleurs in the whole collection - far lighter than any Campagnolo or Zeus racing derailleur.
The derailleurs are shown in order of weight, with the lightest first.
