Wanted: An cheap or free vintage rear mech

Hello,

I picked up an old coventry eagle and im trying to do justice to the nice frame that it is.

is a 5 speed bike, circa 1970 I think, has 27 1 1/4 steel wheels.

I have no funds to spend on it really, and in fact i picked up the whole bike for £10 in pretty nice riding condition.

But its got a lot of tat parts on it that I feel the need to switch.

Especially the shimano SIS derailieur, and the saddle.

Would be greatly appreciattive of any vintage looking rear mech, to work on a 5 speed freewheel.

ta very much.

not vintage, but you could have this for beer money:

I've got a very retro sun-tour mech you could have. Camera is broke at the moment, but i might be able to manage a really shitty camera phone shot when i get home. PM me your mobile no.

think i've got 1 or 2 vintage rear mechs in my cupboard.
jus pm me and i'll dig them out.

Old Huret here that could probably be fixed up. (No pun here)

I've got an old shimano 500 one that came off of a 5-speed.

Although... the gears didn't shift well while it was a 5-speed, which is why it's now fixed (wheel), so this derailleur may be rubbish.
