Probably. I do recall, they were trying to index with derailleurs and freewheels that weren't designed for it, and going by what I was reading at the time, it wasn't at all successful. > That was pretty > much unuseable IIRC.

I really stopped following Campagnolo back in the 1970s, and it was only a fluke that led me to the Campagnolo Racing T front derailleur, which I have to say again is by far the best front derailleur I have ever tried for Riv/iBOB style compact triple gearing. Amazing performance, and from a company with no demonstrated interest in that sort of gearing at all, ever. > They're currently back on my Riv Road Std, > which is as close as I have to a 'racing' bike.
