Did Campy make long cage mech's back in the 70's?

[dirttorpedo]

I'm thinking about an upgrade of the mech's on my new acquisition (currently a Suntour Cyclone front and Shimano 500 long cage rear). Wondering if anyone BITD made high quality touring mechs or if I'm stuck with what I've got (I know I could get Cyclone GT to pair with the front to help with my need for the bits to match).

Oh yes they did, normally find them on Ebay ranging from about £150 - £300

Yep, called the Rally......first gen were awful! Improved a bit with later jobbies but for some reason never got sorted until they went slant pantograph.

Buy something from Suntour

Who cares if it didn't work - it looks WELL cool for a long arm jobby!!

Used a Rally for a while, utterly horrible. A calamitous failure.

Maybe a Sachs-Huret Duopar Titanium? Always look pretty cool to
Me and the (non-titanium) Eco version I had for a short time seemed smooth.

I've used a 2nd generation Rally for 20 or so years - no problems. I also use a Suntour Cyclone (long cage), that's excellent too. The Huret needs to be used very carefully, they're not very robust.

You can convert a Nuovo Record derailleur with these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Polished-Cam ... SwWxNYvJMl

Heres my Norman Fay with its Nuovo/ Rally mech - it was not on there for very long!
