There's a picture on the Suntour Museum site: http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/suntour/fd/compe-v.html

The Raleigh version has the Raleigh name on clamp instead of Suntour and nothing stamped on front side of cage. There are also some out there with a hinged clamp vs a clamp with two bolts as in above picture.

I'm using a Compe-V on a triple crank. (48-44-26) Keep it clean, it works great. Mine's matched to a Cyclone GT in back. btw: This is a "normal-high" front derailler, spring puts it on big ring, opposite of most others. I still think it's the best way to go with barcons, both levers all the way down for high gear. You'd be surprised how fast it can pop the chain onto the big ring.
