Hello All,
Speaking of Italian Simplex.......
I need an Italian Simplex Tour de France 4 or 5 speed rear derailleur from the early 50s. Its for my 1951 Cinelli restoration, so I'd like to find an example in excellent condition or so, but tempt me with what you have.
Regards, Dave Martinez Fremont, Nor Cal. the 51st state
