If you are going to ride this bike, keep the aluminum rims for safe braking and greatly improved performance. KoolStop salmon brake pads would also be a plus.

Years ago on eBay I saw a 15-speed Continental w/ the old Simplex Competition suicide shifter, which was obviously correct for that particular (1960?) frame. The triple chainring may have been an aftermarket upgrade.
