465.0. "Campy Chorus" by STAR::MCCARTHY () Fri Sep 11 1987 20:24

    
    
    	Has anyone seen the new Campy components called Chorus?
    Bicycling Magazine seemed to like them saying they should show
    up on bikes costing under $1000.

    The October issue of Cyclist had a 1-page discussion of the Chorus
    Group.  (I didn't see the Bicycling piece, so pardon if some of
    this is redundant).  They said it features a new (for Campy) derailleur
    design - slant-parallelogram, with something called "Dual Mode",
    making it adjustable to a wider range of gears (from 12-27 teeth
    to 12-34 teeth).  On the brakes the right arm splits the left (goes
    through a slot in the middle of it).  There was a picture in Cyclist.
    Both derailleurs and brakes use teflon coatings to reduce friction
    at key points.  They promised a roadtest in the Nov. issue.
