Great Job. My simplex tour de france slipped like that, sold it in the end in my current mini bike cull. I had to dial up the the tension using the tension spring arm by winding it around with pliers and a screwdriver driver as my fingers weren't strong enough to get adequate tension. I don't know if this will work for you (It never really worked that well for me, if I pedalled out of the saddle hard it still slipped) Lovely bike though, I like the paint and parts being nicely faded and patinated like that
