I've been offered one by a guy who knows his retro beans in my local bike shop. Its a few knocks, but seems to work and likely to fit... anybody used one? what sort of price? any info?

It's a Proshift, they look alarmingly/alluringly delicate but shift quite well I believe, better than the Paul Components' version.
To be honest I've not used mine yet, but Proshifts rear mech's work well..

As for price, they seem to go for £100 +. I recently paid £120 for mine, which was possibly a bit steep.

thanks ferris, I'm tempted and think he'll let me see if it will fit before handing the cash over. Need to agree a price and this one has a couple of knocks. He took it off a bike he bought, liked it and stuck it into a draw.
