Campagnolo RECORD CT QS Front Derailleur (Used)｜Carbon Cage Model Symbolizing the QS Era

Fast, Quiet, Reliable. A masterpiece that supported front shifting during Campagnolo's golden age.

The Campagnolo RECORD CT QS is a front derailleur from the 10-speed era that was part of Campagnolo's flagship "RECORD" series. It is characterized by its design optimized for the QS (Quick Shift) system of the time, pursuing lightness and shifting performance.

The outer cage plate uses carbon fiber. This achieves weight reduction while ensuring high rigidity, contributing to improved responsiveness during front shifting.

When combined with QS Ergopower, it enables quick and accurate shifting with minimal lever operation. Designed as a CT (Compact) specification for compact cranks, it pairs well with compact drivetrains such as 50/34T.

The dedicated cage shape, which optimizes the chainline, reduces interference and friction during cross-chaining. This front derailleur, representative of its time, offers the clear shifting feel unique to mechanical Campagnolo.
