Simplex or Huret Front Derailleur for 75 Raleigh Grand Prix
The Grand Prix has been running surprisingly well with the Suntour derailleur from my donor Raleigh Europa.
The derailleur works in reverse which is a bit disconcerting when swapping bikes and aesthetically the cage doesn't quite follow the chain ring to say the least.
So want to replace with an original plastic Simplex or a period Huret.
Haven't had a Huret front derailleur but had a rear Svelto BITD and can't remember how well it worked (or not work) but thought it may be a more durable option to the plastic bodied Simplex. Thoughts, suggestions and comments welcomed.
