BTW, I really like your Raleigh. That is a name that has disappeared in the US since my childhood. It was very popular then. Is it sporting a Suntour component package?

Ta

No Suntour on it, its mainly Raleigh/No name stuff on it. Shimano gears and shifters, would like to upgrade them at some stage though as they aren't brilliant.

A few pics of bits and bobs of the bike

You need to silence you inner engineer, and come into the light

Hub gears are less efficient than derailleurs, more difficult to fix by the side of the road and heavier. So i'll stick with my derailleur for now

The inefficientcy is largely theoretical rather than practical these day's, and while a well adjusted deraileur is more effiecient, most bike I see, the gearing is as slack as a very slack thing

I can't argue on the weight front, but you shouldn't need to fix one by the road side, as there pretty bombproof (with a few well publicised exceptions)

Not the whole hub vs derailleur thing again!

That's OK. Suntour stuff is far from brilliant also.

Don't even bother trying to talk me out of my derailleurs Mike.
