Isn't this a Leica User Group? That is different from a Leica Usage Group.

I for one was quite interested to read yesterday what a Leica User wrote
about Land Rover Series vs newer Land Rovers. Having then just returned
with my Series loaded to the brim with horse muck for my wife's garden, I
sure  did not agree with what he said about newer models being better. Not
for that sort of a job. And if it breaks down, which seldom happens, it is
job for the local blacksmith, with all its advantagaes and disadvantages.

Can somebody please contribute something about Sturmey Archer three and
five speed bicycle gears and Raleigh bicycles with locking front wheel?
