hee hee. Yeah, I showed that thing from its best side, 3Speed. I only keep it because I think it an awe inspiring, kind of beautiful hunk of 70's metal. I only tried one briefly back in the early 70's, on a friend's bike, but they have a bad reputation and most folks suggest they're best used as paper weights, or as self defense weapons. In The Dancing Chain, Frank Berto says that if it ever got caught up in your spokes, the bike frame would bend before the derailleur would.
