on my 1970 jack taylor tour of britain rebuild. all gears are usable except the chain sags if in the granny and using the two smallest cogs on the freewheel. using a nuovo record rear derailleur with a gran sport cage and a regular nuovo record front. shifting up front occasionally is rough grinding out of the granny but when I drop to the granny its a commitment anyway... I've been using this system for the last year or so and its great, i find myself using the half step regularly (i am using friction bar end shifters up front). Occasionally I wish I had more top end speed, but then I remind myself to slow down.

I should take some new photos of the bike, I've made some tweaks to it that have moved it from a bike I liked to a bike I love, notably new seat, bars, raised the cock pit, rear wheels, and new pedals. its less period correct now, but way more fun.
