Simplex Tour de France 4-speed 1/8in rear derailleur with plastic pulleys. This is one of the last Simplex Tour de France rear mechs and has the later style winged logo There is a very small amount of damage to the edge of the top pivot bolt (which is the correct one with the fancy logo). However it obviously has only seen a little light use judging by the condition of the rest. This is an exceptionally rare Simplex rear derailleur though obviously not as high in the desirability stakes as the 543, hence $175
Simplex JUY 51 4-speed 3/32in rear derailleur. One of the nicest shifting rear derailleurs from the 50s (and a much better shifter than the Campag Gran Sport though nothing like as tough). Excellent, virtually unused condition $145
GB spear point aluminium stem 8cm. Classic stem from 50s and 60s. Excellent condition, no scratches or bruising of any significance. Expander bolt head features a red. Chrome clamp head has some surface rust $30
Ideale Model 75 Cyclo-Tourist saddle. Unused but obviously has been in a box with other bits. A few minor scrapes. The tension adjuster bolt has never been moved and the clip has never been fastened to a seatpin. However I have never seen another of these saddles. It has twin wires underneath with a single coil spring in the upper wire at the rear. It is a short saddle with a deep indentation down the middle just like some modern Terry saddles and others. Front rivets appear slightly pulled though why I do not know. A very rare piece for a classic French tourer $140

Duprat Maxiplume aluminium cottered cranks. 170mm French pedal threads.
