Looking for a vgc 7100 rear derailleur with little wear and no play if one exists
OK, although your interest may also depend on another factor. The derailleur I have is labelled as the Crane model. Although I have a feeling you'll be aware that Crane is in fact Dura Ace. The 7100 Dura Ace has the same styling and is mechanically the same mech, with the only difference being that the Crane and Crane GS writing on the front was replaced by Dura Ace. And seeing a reliable source of info on the interweb, I can see that the Dura Ace branded mechs never had a GS/long cage version (seeing as Shimano was at that point in time trying to tout the Dura Ace kit as a purely racing orientated and top level groupset, so having a long cage mech as part of the range was thought of as damaging to this image). So you wouldn't be able to find a 7100 long cage mech in any case, if this might have been what you'd been hoping for.I would be interested in the long cage if the op isn't. Depending on price.
PM'd you.Could I see some pics please?
