Campagnolo C-Record 1st Gen Rear Derailleur: Polished - Grey Pulleys (EXC)

The 1st generation Corsa Record rear mech was in a way a rebellious design.  It was in an era of the radical Dura Ace AX and Suntour's smooth shifting modernized derailleurs, and campy refused to play into their game in the sake of better shifting or retain "classic styling" of Nuovo/Super Record.  Instead, they created an artistic component that was a radical departure from the styling of Nuovo/Super Record, complete with (gasp) steel bolts and ancient technology.  They knew their cult members would go wild for it's irrationality and beauty, and it became an instant classic.

It's easily discerned from the 2nd gen C-Record derailleur, most easily by it's covered/faired lower pulley (this is the only Campy derailleur to ever feature this).  It's also easily identified by it's steel bolts, large rounded faceplate with the Campy shield logo, and a polished finish (later models were anodized)

Condition

Excellent lightly used shape!  Pulleys are buttery smooth, pivots/springs tight and smooth.  Pivot bolts and all hardware are mint.  Very little cosmetic marks, primarily on the outer cage plate around the upper pulley.  The faceplate only has a couple light scuffs on the left side.   Nice original polish throughout.  Pulleys have some grease stains.
