Shifter is on the top tube, you can see I can get into both the big sprocket and the little sprocket. Cable routing is a mess now and the cable was only barely long enough with this housing, you can see it just barely clears the clamp bolt
Will keep this derailleur on though, the cage spring is much better than the old one I had on.
Major caveat - it works for my combo of shifter and derailleur, cannot comment on yours!
Ace, thanks heaps! Mine will at least be all road parts, but Campag levers, Huret (or whatever I can find) shifter, Sram derailleur, Shimano cassette is a pretty scrappy mix too. :)
Well bugger me, it works perfectly.

Edit: proper bodge drivetrain, ancient Huret shifter, 9-speed cassette, 10-speed SRAM MTB derailleur, £10 eBay NW ring, Shimano Claris cranks...
