Vintage early 1990s Campagnolo Olympus rear derailleur medium cage mountain 8 speed

Frame and Wheel is auctioning an early 1990s Campagnolo Olympus rear derailleur on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The derailleur is part of a collection of vintage components. The owner is selling the derailleur because he no longer needs the part and is clearing out his basement of cycling equipment. The derailleur features  medium length cage (68 mm), original Campagnolo jockey wheels, Campagnolo lettering on the outer cage and rare Campagnolo mountain bike provenance. The derailleur is in very good condition. It is clean and ready for installation. The cage is straight and the inward and downward spring tension is strong. The jockey wheels are not worn. The mounting bolt is not missing. The cable fixing bolt is not missing. The limit screws are not stripped. There is no corrosion. Frame and Wheel notes that the lower jockey wheel is spins stiffly. An effectively new and very rare commemoration of Campognolo’s abandoned effort to enter the mountain bike component market. 6
