🚴 About This Component

A solid example of early Shimano Tourney production.

This Shimano Tourney RD-TY10 rear derailleur, manufactured in Singapore, represents Shimano’s accessible, mass-market approach during a formative period in its global expansion. While Tourney sat at the entry level of the range, these derailleurs were widely used, dependable, and are now increasingly scarce in original, working condition.

An ideal choice for period-correct restorations, commuter builds, or anyone interested in the everyday mechanical history of cycling — not just the top tier.

💌 Personal Note from Sorcha Rosa

I like pieces like this because they remind us that cycling history isn’t only about prestige groupsets. This is the kind of component that kept people riding — everyday, reliable, and now quietly nostalgic 🤍
