The bike is described to have all-original 1964 components, but the aluminum Simplex long-cage deraileurs post-date that by a decade or so.
Coincidentally, if anybody has a long-cage Simplex SLJ derailleur for sale (straight or dropped parallelogram), I am very interested... Must say "SLJ" in the little stampings, not "SX" or other words...
Contact me off list. (No, I won't pay $ 5000 for a Hetchins to get the derailleur!) -- Jan Heine Editor Bicycle Quarterly 140 Lakeside Ave #C Seattle WA 98122 http://www.bikequarterly.com
