It's a Campagnolo mech, they like to leave you (and anyone in a 50m radius) in little doubt that they've shifted.
White spirit is a really good cheap degreaser
For our UK members 'Kerosene' is known as Paraffin over here.Even white spirit may harm some paint and make it dull. I always liked kerosene for washing off parts and it has never damaged anything. For small parts, like bearing pieces, if you get a can and dip them in and leave them overnight you'll be surprised how effortless cleaning can be. It also does wonders with chains too, no matter how old, beaten, and frozen they may be.
Also, if you have oil heat, use something like a coffee paper filter and strain the dirty kerosene in the oil tank. Kerosene burns the same but cleaner than heating oil and diesel.
