Does anyone have any insight into this Campagnolo front derailleur with an adjustable clamp? eBay is the only thing that comes up when I search for it and other than a $180 asking price it doesn't tell me much. It is a surprisingly tough front derailleur. It's been on my commuter bike for the past 4 years and I had it kicking around in a box for who knows how long before that. My question is should I hold onto it for some future mythical build or is it really nothing special and I won't kick myself a year from for selling it.

Another interesting, small feature Campground created. One clamp-on FD, get the little chart out, push the wee pin into the correct holes, bob's yer uncle. Only issue is you can't really change it unless you have a new pin. I have installed many but never have tried to drive the wee pin out and re-install. Late 80s, early 90s.
