Perfect for your 1950's or 60's Campy L'Eroica restoration. Outer cage plate, shift arm, matchbox body and clamp piece are just about pristine.  Hardware looks nearly as clean as NOS bolts would with the slightest bits of wrench marks on a few!  Inner cage plate shows some chain rub.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e28.6mm clamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Campagnolo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53423189917836,"sku":"14148","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5144\/9740\/files\/portland_ecommerce_vintage_bike_parts_sale_1970s_1980s_771__71928.1706239105.1280.1280.jpg?v=1792376958","url":"https:\/\/swooncycles.com\/products\/campagnolo-gran-sport-1005-2-front-derailleur-matchbox-push-rod-1950s-1960s-near-mint-show-worthy-1","provider":"Swoon Cycles (Bike ReCyclery)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
