Hey Nic, cc List,

on the Raleigh page you wrote: "Suntour cyclone. Sounds bad. Suppose it can't work worse than a Campy record."

Look at the form of the derailleur; the Cyclone already had a modern parallelogram design at a time when Campagnolo NR/SR didn't. It tilts parallel to the cogs, rather than into the cogs like Campagnolo does, so the Cyclone should shift just fine.
