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

Re: Re:
It looks pretty good though!
My experience with Nuovo Record derailleurs as that they work fine until you push the limits. 52:42 with 14-26 works very well (by vintage standards), but 50:36 with 14-26 gets a bit clunky. 52:42 with 14-21 is excellent, but I'm a little too heavy to get away with that.

You could try a short cage with a road link if it is functionality you're after. Hears good stories about these.

Re: Re:
Just thought I'd add this as there's some Rally antagonism (!), my Rally from new, Holdsworth fitted them standard on Mistrals - and the Cyclone I've had from new.
The Shimano Crane is good (part of the Dura Ace group BiTD) as is the Dearhead.

Re:
Oh, now that's pretty.
Its interesting to read that those second generation cyclone mechs weigh less than modern dura ace.
I have a long cage next generation Shimano 600 sitting in my parts bin as well as a DX mountain bike version which is in very good condition. The old Deer Head mech's seem to come up a fair bit too - maybe a more financially responsible solution?

Deerhead rear mechs are not the best at shifting. Even when used with deerhead shifters.
You can fit the long cage from a DX mech to a 600 or 105 to make tour own touring groupset
