Description
Description
This mid 1980's derailleur was the peak of Mavic's rear mech technology in the SSC era. It was the professional version of the similar 801 derailleur, the main differences being the 851's needle bearing jockey wheels (though this one has upgraded Carmichael CNC ano pulleys in red) and the grey anodized parallelogram & white pinstripe lined cage plates (hard anodized?). It is completely rebuildable, and every single piece is designed to be removed and replaced if necessary. It is absurdly light at 169 grams, just barely heavier than the famed Huret Jubilee and 12 grams lighter than the current 12 speed Super Record rd!
Condition
This derailleur would be great for parts or for a beater bike if you replace the missing/worn parts. It is missing the B-stop tabbed washer/plate, and has worn out pulleys. A good amount of cosmetic wear. Pics show condition accurately

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
