Yes the bike not the Cigarettes, and mixte or mixtie? both spellings on google, however it might be an old Raleigh as it has Raleigh front derailleur and pedals, however the frame says Tour de France, unfortunately the badge is missing from the front.

"Before you start whacking this and modifying that consider that the set-up probably did work originally and look for the reason that it now doesn't. Do you have another RD around?" Yes that's what puzzling me, I can't see why the jockey won't line up with the big cog. I haven't been able to do too much with it yet as my hands get quite cold with our daily temperatures hovering around zero. Don't have any spare, it's quite an old bike, it was thrown away so I rescued it as it looks quite pretty. Thanks for the inputs, I'll try some non distructive dissasembly before bashing things.
