Sold: $16.00
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a vintage Shimano RD-6401 Ultegra 8 speed rear derailleur. The derailleur has had one previous owner; it came off an old racing bike and has been in storage for the past few years. The spring has good tension; the mounting bolt is straight and the threads are not stripped; the jockey wheel cage is straight and the jockey wheels are not worn or damaged; the stop screw and limit screws are not missing or damaged; the cable-fixing nut is included; and the cable barrel adjuster assembly is complete and operating properly. Frame and Wheel notes the following: there is a scratch on the upper knuckle from a fall; grime around the jockey wheels prevents them from spinning as freely as they could; and there is still some grime in the harder to access parts of the item. The derailleur is being sold as is and although the derailleur was cleaned and inspected, Frame and Wheel cannot guarantee that all imperfections have been spotted. Frame and Wheel's view is that with a thorough cleaning, the derailleur will work very well on a restoration bicycle.
