Hi, John---

Others are much better at the Simplex part of this topic, so I can't really defend "the Joy of Simplex," however, I have seen early and variant versions of the Campagnolo Gran Sport and such sell for in excess of $1000 on ebay. I remember one particular "shoot out" between some Japanese collectors a few years back. The CR site may document some of these high-priced sales.

Cheerio,
