Alex,

You might try getting a spring from an old Alvit, Svelto or other Huret steel derailleur. I think that the cage geometry similar or the same.

> 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.
