Thanks for the post -- I have never heard of that particular marque, but that is one nice-looking frame. Are there any date codes on any of the components, or does anyone have a rough idea how Johnny Kay serial numbers correlate against year of manufacture?
I wonder if that old school Simplex shift lever was paired originally with a bandspring style derailleur, rather than the parallelogram type. Someone better versed than I in old Simplex kit may want to chime in.
