>>1784043yes. I'd love to have that.
from a time when reputation was build on being sexy and bombproof and quite light, but not on working that well. But, it's friction shifting, how well does it need to work?
It's a historic derailer
A perfect thing to put on a true retrodouche 70s, or earlier bike, as a spare, or, on some friction shifting thumbie retro nonsense hack build.
Cleaning and lubing it won't be that hard. You could do the soak (after a moderate cleaning) in evaporust (or vinegar, because there won't be any plastic in it i think), if you care about de-rusting, and even polish it, if you're autistic and like polishing.
The fact the bike it's on has been outside and is rusted to fuck probably doesn't really matter at all. But, is there a lot of slop in it? If there's a lot of slop in it, it'd be from big miles, and if so, I might not bother. Someone will want it for spare doodads though. Definately don't bin it.
