Hello Josh,

I have sucessfully used the Campag bronze Record with a 42t-30t rear. This was on a 1960 Cinelli SC (which I sold to help finance a splendid trip to I taly). The Record handled the gear range perfectly. I also set up Record

I am restoring an early 60's Masi Special and would like to have the lowest

possible low gear for my aging legs, yet remain reasonably close to the original componentry. The Campy "steel Record' rear derailleur is marked 13-36. Does this mean it could handle a freewheel up to 36 teeth (or 34, which I believe is the largest made) along with a 44-49 Record crankset? It seams like a lot for a

derailleur this size. I'll be using a Campy Record front derailleur. Thanks. Josh Berger Bronx, NY **************Plan your next getaway with AOL Travel. Check out Today's Hot 5 Travel Deals!
