Rare? I think there are 4 of them in the RD bucket out in my barn. And a couple of Allvits.
Back in the day (Nixon was President) the very first upgrade I did on my gaspipe Atala was to replace the Simplex RD with a V-GT Luxe. That very RD is now on my daughter's Ficelle, where it replaced a Huret Luxe . The Atala is still with me, and sports a V Luxe. You really can't go wrong with either of these Sun Tour Rds.
