This listing is invaluable - but unfortunately I still do not know what actual derailleurs these models names describe!
Some other items of note include:
- Prices are given for some models. These are vaguely interesting - for example Gian Robert's top of the line Competition model is cheaper than Campagnolo's lowly Triomphe and 990 models.
- There is a certain amount of information about the material the derailleur is made from, its weight and the range of rear sprockets that it can handle. This is potentially useful information, but I am slightly confused by some of it. For example, my example of a Gian Robert System has the same pulley cage length as my example of a Gian Robert Competition. But, here, one is claimed to handle a 13-32T freewheel and the other only 13-20T. Typically odd, in a 1980s-Italian-kind-of-way.
- The Campagnolo range is a mess - a confusing and indecisive mélange of old and new ranges.
- In general Galli, Gian Robert, Gipiemme, Miche, Ofmega and Rino all list surprisingly extensive ranges of components. Groupset fever is rife.
- FiR and Regina each list a number of different components but no derailleurs.
- Stella is still in business and lists its spokes but no other types of components.
