And sport meant just that. They were made for the stock commuter, about town shift best with close range 3-sp cluster, 1/8" chain. With a sporty chainguard and fender skirt nets it made for the ideal go to work- market bike. It was never designed for anything else, and was Italy's answer to the Sturmey 3-sp. It shifted so-so and for knocking about at low speed was just fine. If you didn't know any better. Ted Ernst Palos Verdes Estates, CA
