Dear List,

I'm in the middle of overhauling my Raleigh Competition: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39151498@N07/sets/72157623444774520/

It seems the return spring in the rear Jubilee has lost all tension. It'll downshift to the larger cogs, no problem - but it won't upshift to the smaller cogs . . . well, actually it'll go from the largest cog to the next, but that's it. Is there an adjustment I'm missing?

Don't suppose anyone has a good return spring? Guess the only other option would be another Jubilee in good working order? Huret dropouts on this bike - any other options I should consider? I like this bike, but don't really want to put much money into it - it's going to be an "office bike" for lunch rides.

Thank you.
