I also have never seen a Galli rear derailleur made by Simplex. I've seen photos of Galli derailleurs which the ads said were Simplex made, but the front plate of the paralleogram was the distinctive Galli shape unlike anything ever sold by Simplex. Either the Simplex-made Gallis are a myth, or Dale and I are just misinformed, though in my case that wouldn't be anything new. Does anyone have a Galli derailleur actually marked Simplex to prove us wrong?
