Cannondale (1)MB serial and other questions.

Poor Napoleon getting dunked on.

I have been cleaning the bike and I'm running into some issues.

This rear derailleur doesn't look very straight, he either wants to be gender fluid or it's bent.
Do I take it apart again and try to bend it back using a vice and a bit off force?
Don't think it should look like this.

Anyone have an Euclid derailleur they can make a picture off?
This doesn't look very straight either.

The bend looks deliberate, but i don't think it's "factory"

Shim mtb 11s are bent out of the box to try to get better chain alignment, specially on 1x, but i haven't noticed this on campagnolo 8, and although C =1% and S=99% of bikes through the door, I own a C8 (chorus iirc) meself and e's straight

Beckham visited, I guess he did a good job.

It's a li'l off by maybe a mm but it's the best I could do.
With these things you tend to keep fiddling and get to a point of no return.
Tried to bend the least amount with the use of a degrees triangle thingy.

Waiting for chain and shifter cables.
Yes those are new Odi's, I can't ride a bike without that sort of support anymore.

Nice Campag on that Cannondale. Need to see more photos of this bike!

The jockey arm shouldn't be bent like that. @ferrus is a Campagnolo and derailleur aficionado and probably has one in his collection...

Apparently it's an Olympus per the specs.
Will try and see how it shifts tomorrow late afternoon and see if it's fixed like this.
I heard the Campa ones are shit to set up but amazing when done right.
