Don: You are one lucky fella - the box I repacked was not buried. These are definitely Simplex. Decal is Gipiemme but, the "hard metal" is Simplex. Front Mechs: Clamp band is the Simplex-man "S". Rear of body cast "Super L.J". Also, in body, is plastic plug for hi/lo adjuster screws "Simplex Brevete SGDG. Rear Mech: In upper and lower body, the case Simplex-man "S". Outer paralellogram arm "SLJ 5500". Inner arm "GIPIEMME / MADE BY SIMPLEX". Pivot bolts in upper and lower bodies "Gipiemme". Simplex pullies. Regards, Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois

Because simplex made several mid-range derailleurs that were _not_ SLJ - i have a front simplex derailleur that's a dead ringer for the gipiemme derailleur system being sold by renaissance-cycles right now - but its not SLJ. I also have an SLJ, which says, not surprisingly, "SLJ" on it.
