FOUND Shimano deer head rear derailleur

RD-M700

There are a few on eBay, but they are either really beat up or too expensive.

This one is a little beat up and a little expensive, but shipping is free

Thanks! That seems to be the best option so far. I will keep an eye on eBay for a couple more days and see if anything better pops up.

I need something that accepts a 34t cog and has 40link capacity. The deer head is one of the only derailleurs rated with that much capacity. Plus the rest of the groupset is deer head. The rear derailleur is just missing.

One on the bay now for $39 but looks different?

I wonder if that's an earlier version, with the stamped logo versus the sticker...

I just bought that one. Seller made me a $10 off offer. It looks in decent shape. My guess is it went through an ultrasonic with a detergent that removed the black on the logo. I will paint it back in.

Thanks for your help and interest.
