Derailer

Very few bicycles are of a different color or employ more gears with derailer sprockets and hand brakes.

Through sheer ingenuity and resourcefulness, these men handproduced parts such as derailers, stands, seat posts, cranks, fenders, and all manner of elements used in the production of a functional bicycle.

Inside, two bearded men are working on a busted fuel pump, and another is repairing a bicycle derailer.

Recent American attempts to further Anglicize the word to “derailer” have met with little success. In any case, no rails are involved.
