You're looking for just the cage? I think you'll find that very difficult. As has been pointed out, the Rallys, both 1st & 2nd gen, command premium prices, unjustifiably IMO. I reckon they are mostly bought by people who are simply dazzled by the brand, just as I was when I bought mine.

I was using a 1st gen Rally on my touring bike (1975 Peugeot PX60) but got fed up with having to take pressure of the pedals and lose speed, just when you needed it to get up steep hills, in order to change down. I swapped it with a Duopar-Eco a few weeks ago and am delighted with the improvement. The Duopar is just clickety-click all the time and doesn(t seem to ever need trimming, wheras the Rally did every time. YMMV.
