Now that I find myself the purchaser of a 1957 Raleigh RRA Moderne in the UK, I am 1) eager to buy stock in ParcelForce/Royal Mail whose profit model makes Exxon look like a charity and 2) in need of a Cyclo-Benelux Mark 7 derailleur.

Now a question: was this really offered as a FIVE-SPEED? I ask because a thread early this summer seemed to establish that Cyclo only made four speeds. But all of the Raleigh literature for the RRA Moderne clearly states it's a "Benelux 5-SPEED, Mark 7 with a 14-16-18-20-22 freewheel. " Yet when the Mark 7 is listed for the Lenton Grand Prix c. 1960 it's listed as 4-speed.
