Well I struggle to do photos on here being a complete tech’ moron! One day I’ll get it together to show the whole collection as there’s 350 or so mech’s, inc some very interesting and rare ones.

Here’s a bit of info on Takhion, featuring a Columbus tubed bike from ‘86.
Scroll down to see the derailleur. It’s a basic (Campag Record) design but is deceptively well made being entirely machined, with stainless and alum’ bolts. It has a peculiar olive anodised finish.

@Imlach can help with the tech. As a fellow luddite he has been very helpful. Very unusual, were into rocking horse poop territory now

The seller had a couple of used ones knocking around for a while, but it might well be the only NOS example.
I can email a pic if you want
