I've got a feeling I'm about to open a can of worms here...
OK, I've got a 53/42 front and more or less a "corncob" freewheel on the back, with a Campy NR rear Derailer. (at 53, I can't pedal like I used to)
Is there somewhere, someone who can tell me the biggest freewheel that will fit with that set-up? I'm guessing a 22 or 24 cog would be about max...
A MTB RD is a option, but I would like to keep the bike "all campy" if possible...I've seen the new Campy road RD's come in long, med. and short cage, and assumed...(there I go, again) that would do the trick.
I understand that a few years back Campy made MTB components, as well as "touring" rears, both of which seem rather expensive now due to limited availability (I guess)...used "newer" Chorus and Record 8 speeds are going for less than a old Rally touring long cage...
I guess I might pay for a brand new Chorus... if I knew it would work... I really love the old Legnano..first real bike and all...still works after all those years.
