WTB: 7 speed MTB rear derailleur

[Matt]

I just need something for my old commuter bike. I'd like LX or better in
decent condition. Anyone got an old one kicking around for cheap, or know
anyplace that still sells new old stock?

Just for info, you can use a modern rear der, like a Deore one with the 7s
shifting/cogs w/o modification. Don't need a specifically '7s' one.

How does that work? I have a 7speed that I would like to bring up to
9speed, but not all at once, so am curious as to what you mean....Isn't
the gear spacing different on a "modern rear der" (9speed) versus the 7
speed?

The indexing function is not built into the derailleur, it is controlled by the
shifters. As long as the derailleur geoemtry is the same and it has enough
sweep, you can use it with all the latest shifters from shimano.

Hmmm...that makes sense -- thanks to Alex and Peter!

The dimension of the shimano rear ders haven't changed and the amount the rear
der moves depends on the shifter, not the rear der. So you can use a modern(9s)
rear der with 7s shimano shifters w/o problem.
