Bit of digging at the local bike co-op unearthed this cool Simplex front derailleur. Not sure if it’s 2x or 3x, but a double will be fine on this bike anyway.
It’s missing the bolt, but I have another derailleur I can steal it from.
EDIT: Research suggests it’s mid-eighties, which is perfect for this build. It’s also a double, but that’s fine.

EDIT: One sold on eBay in April for $70AUD. I paid $15 for this and the donor one, which I just looked up and they’re selling for ~$30
