1990's Raleigh Royal Components - Any good?

Thanks for the info! Quite pleased with the shifters, they are down tube, though only the 7 speed side is indexed, so moving between the 3 cranks takes a bit longer as they don't click into place. Is this quite common?

Yup, perfectly normal, it allows you to trim the front derailleur to avoid chain rub. You may find that the shifter for the rear derailleur can also be switched from index to friction mode for maximum adjustability.
