The Seller states that it is a ten speed which also muddy's the waters as I am only familiar with the Lentons with 3, 4 and 8 speeds.
Now that is interesting...I wonder if it was converted somewhere along the way? I saw a Raleigh Sports a while back that had been converted to a 15 speed with a Nevar Triple crank...so you never know what will show up.
