This thing showed up on EBay recently. It is supposedly a:
VINTAGE RUSSIAN REAR DERAILEUR COPY OF CAMPAGNOLO NEW !VERY "EXOTIC" ITEMmodel : XBZ made in CCCP !!BRAND NEW NVER USED COMES FROM 80'SHAVE SOME SHOPWEARWEIGHT : 167 GRAMS
I love it. It looks like it got whittled from a solid chunk of steel. Sharp edges and machine marks all over. Not a very close copy of a Campy derailluer, however. I wonder how poorly it shifts? For 12 bucks it would probably be worth it to buy this thing just for the novelty of it.
