[While Crescent Pepita model 320 bicycles typically came equipped with Campagnolo Nuovo Record rear derailleurs, this example has been somewhat altered from stock form. In keeping with the "holey" vintage racing theme without getting too radical, I have seen fit to perform a little "drillium" work on both the inner and outer pulley cage plates. Additionally, I have fitted a set of genuine Bullseye alloy replacement pulley wheels (introduced to market in late 1973, these were a very common aftermarket upgrade from that era, albeit not seen here in the typical Red coloration) as well as a pair of lightweight aluminum O.M.A.S. upper and lower pivot bolts.]
