Advantages: Top of the range "bling" rear mech Disadvantages: 9 speed "only", superceeded by RD-7800 10-speed version
I bought this rear derailleur to replace an Ultegra mech when upgrading my bike from 8 to 9-speeds (well, 16 to 18 speed really with my double front chainset). Apparently, this mech is also compatible with 8-speed systems, you just need to change the cable mounting position.
DuraAce is the name of Shimano's top of the range group of bicycle components, or "groupset", for road race bikes, and the 9-speed 7700-series was introduced to the public in 1997 after Shimano sponsored riders using Dura-Ace 7700 series equipped bikes in 1996.

Eating with all eight of us in the first dining room it felt like were too much in the way and being too noisy. However, as Prague is so cheap to go out at night (at least if you just want to get a beer), I guess one can just go out!
I'd recommend Ace hostel, but be prepared for something a bit out of the ordinary! I think it would be a good place to meet fellow travellers should you be in ...
