Got some new toys today
Simplex Retrofriction downtube shifters and a Suntour Cyclone rear derailleur. Having read so much about the shifters and about vintage Suntour I am very excited to try both. Now I just need to find a frame to put them on LOL!

Nice. You'll find you'll need almost all of 180 degrees of lever travel to shift all the way across the cogs. The Simplex don't pull a lot of cable, or not as much as the Suntour may expect. You'll love 'em though.
