Hello, I can really recommend this set. This one appears new and complete even though there are no photos of the brake handles which are permanently attached by electrics.

Works on any 130 mm rear but did mount one on my tall frame Gitane Professional with 126 spacing. The very long stays gently opened the extra 4 mm.
And you need a modern wheel with a 9 speed Shimano HG cassette.
Campagnolo 9 speed cassettes also work (apparently)
Typically and sorry to say "French," the Mavic 9 speed cassette does not work with their own system. You need to find a special spacer kit and change the original spacers between the sprockets.
Works very well and since some of you have so many bikes why not try
one?? Unless of course the price goes so high from a Mavic collector nut.
The impossible to understand "textbook" instructions which are only needed to figure out the computer functions you can leave in the box and just hook everything up and shift.
The only problem is that with all of the electronic "waves/signals , etc.," flying around the atmosphere, you might find your bike shifting all by itself at night by a ghost rider.
