your bike/rear derailleur

Submitted by benmillerintx on 07/11/2007.

I like what you did to your bike. I happened to find one that looks like it's the exact same model yesterday. Even the paint is the same. Problem is the rear derailleur is missing. It is a ten-speed (univega nuovo sport) with a 5-speed cassette on the back. Do you have any idea what kind of derailleur I should look for? It wouldn't have to be the exact same one that came with it, just one that works and hopefully relatively cheap/used. If you could help, i would greatly appreciate it. I am pretty new to bike repair. Thanks.

Ben
