Product Description
The legendary M735 rear mech was the last iteration of Shimano's first SIS indexed flagship mountain bike derailleur, which was produced from 1990 to 1994. It is aesthetically almost identical to the earlier RD-M730 & RD-M732 with the only cosmetic difference being the gold colored XT decal on the faceplate of the M735 and RD-M732 while the RD-M730 had thinner lettering with white XT. With this in mind, these are prime choices for retro mtb restorations from 1987 to 1994. These are VERY rare to find brand new.
This is the SGS long cage version, which has a max cog of 32t.
Condition
Extremely close to mint with very few miles ridden. This will be appropriate for all but the cleanest NOS level retro mtb show bikes. The faceplate is almost pristine, with no fading and just a single pinpoint mark lower right. The lower left knuckle has the lightest of scuffs, and there's a thin line scuff on top of the upper pivot bolt housing. Otherwise exceptionally clean.
