Mark in my LBS (an RB member but not very actively!) owns my LBS and he had this rear mech brought in last week. The owner wanted to fit it to a modern(ish) bike but Mark said it wouldn't work. The guy then said he would skip it so Mark, being a sensible lad, said he would have it. He showed it to me this morning and I brought it home to photograph. I can't find any info on Google and it isn't on Disraeli Gears so I've sent the photos there also.
Does anyone here know anything about the Guizzardi Bologna brand? Keithglos, how about you??
It is unusual for a 'spring' mech in that it is top normal. The cable pulls the curved arm (which is pivoted on the body between the 2 adjusting screws) up which makes the arm rub against the cage and pushes it inwards against the force of the spring. A totally different concept to the usual Simplex, Huret, Benelux etc. spring mech. The main body is a nicely made aluminium casting. It also looks as if it has never been fitted to a bike before but sadly the top fixing bolt is missing. However, I reckon one could be turned up relatively easily.
