Hi guys,
My first post here - looks like a great resource.
I'm trying to find out a little more about Super Champion derailleurs. I know the firm was founded by Oscar Egg, and there's plenty of info about the company in the thirties, but little about the forties and the end of the company in the early fifties.
I'm curious, because I recently bought a small job lot of new old stock SC 3-speed derailleurs, all boxed in pairs, with instrictions, levers, cables, and all fittings. some I'll keep for curiosity value (I'm more interested in my own racing era of the 70s and eighties), but the rest will probably go on Ebay or wherever. I'd just like to know a little more about the background and try to date them a bit more precisely. There are two types: three boxes of Sport Leger and two boxes of Sport 46 Dural. I also have one loose one stamped Mondial. So 11 derailleurs altogether. I bought them at an autojumble in France from a guy who genuinely didn't have a clue what they were!
Any information would be gratefully received.
