Campagnolo Paris Roubaix
In 1949, Tullio Campagnolo introduced a new version of the rod-operated gearing with only one lever to open the quick release and to shift. The new system was also able to adopt bigger freewheels up to five cogs. In 1950, Fausto Coppi won the Paris-Roubaix race on a Bianchi with this rear derailleur: since then this gear has been named "Paris-Roubaix" to honour the victory of the "Campionissimo".
