I recently brought a Saracen Mantra 1 of ebay and i am in the process of refurbishing it.
i am having the frame powder coated and have therefore remove all the components.
the rear derailleur is showing signs of fatiuge at the point where it connects to the hanger.
i was wondering if any1 could suggest a suitable replacement for this part as they seem to be imposible to get hold of and i would prefer not to replace with the same, incase it is a common fault.
the top wheel on the derailleur has 13 teeth, the bottom has 15 teeth and the centres of the wheels/pullies are 65mm apart, is this info important and do i have to get an exact replacement?
Many thanks in advance.

just had a thought, are you going to use the cassette that was on it with the really big big cog? if yes you maybe sould keep looking for an altus mech.
