Would any of you good people be interested in buying my Simplex front derailleur, the rod operated 'suicide' type?
Pretty rare model without the stop nodule on the lever handle. This fellow: http://velobase.com/ViewComponent.aspx?ID=740D2CC7-46DB-4E62-A3B6-0420DDA02FCC&Enum=113&AbsPos=3
It needs a bit of a polish and clean and putting back together but all the bits are there and it's very simple to rebuild.
I was keeping it for a future build, but that won't happen for a few years yet as I don't have a frames for it and I need the pennies to build up a 90's Mercian.
Also have a 40s/50s Simplex shifter lever, for the rear derailleur if anyone wants one of those?
