Subject: [CR]Late '70 Raleigh Sprite questions

Till we recover the Kish (the stolen bike of the previous message), Nikki wants to ride her almost new-late '70's Raleigh Sprite 3-spd to work. However, she'd like a lower gear (or 2) so.................

Does the Sachs 7-spd internal have a wider range, or just more gears than the Sturmey AW? What about the other 7-spd internals?

Were there chainring options available for the Raleigh Heron cottered cranks?

I know I'd have to change out the whole arm, but did they make different ring sizes?

Any other thoughts?
