Yeah, I looked at ebay only long enough to see 2 or 3 prices, geez, one guy wanted like $40 just for the jockey wheels. The only part that was salvageable on mine was the chrome front cage part for the jockey wheels. Anybody want it for $20, plus shipping? Actually, I saved the "Simplex" metal badge and glued it onto the Shimano derailleur that's now on it, just to mess with the know-it-alls.
Mine has a claw that has the hole to act as a hanger, for the record. I can attach whatever to it. Anything would be an improvement in the appearance department to the Shimano I stuck on it.
