I posted this on r.b.m. and had no reply. Perhaps someone here has a comment. I see both are available, but really, what is the difference between the 750 and 760 series?
"Is there any REAL difference between the M-750 and M-760 series of front and rear Shimano derailleurs?
It seems the 760 series costs more, but is the price worth it? I am building a (self-supporting) touring/expedition bike and can purchase either series. Rear cassette will be no more than 9 gears - probably 8."
Yes, there are a few small differences. Go to http://www.shimano-europe.com/cycling/ and type in FD-750 and FD-760, etc. You can compare what Shimano says about them, and decide if the differences are worth it to you.

At least you have given me some decent info that I can use for comparing.... Isn't r.b.t. great?? No response needed - I HAVE already made my own opinion. :-)
