Here's mine.


I had to replace the Simplex tag. Hot glue worked great.

I think it's the same design as the last version of the Super LJ, just not as well made. It shifts great, but I don't expect it to last as long as a Super LJ. That's why I bought a spare. I doubt if it's much heavier than a Super LJ.

I just found them on the Velo Orange site. There are two versions. One is for Simplex dropouts and the other is for normal dropouts, but you can switch the parts around. I have both styles.

They were also marketed ad Gipiemme Sprint.

Bananna Brain on eBay was selling them last year for $79.95 as a set including the front derailer and shifters. Now you know why the derailer on my Gitane had no Simplex tag.
I sold the shifters and front derailer at the bike swap Sunday.
