I currently have another of the Suntour VX rear mechs sat in my workshop, I do have a Raleigh front mech very similar to the Suntour fitted to the Dawes also sat spare, along with a set of Suntour Power shifters, if you were interested in the set I will give them a good clean and get some photos...

Will definitely be getting it welded, want to use the bike for touring so don't like the idea of the BB dropping out a fair way from home. At the moment it's just a matter of whether to filler the dent, primer and then paint with something hardy and ride it or send it off to Argos and buy some...
