wtb simplex front derailleur
I'm looking for anything fancy but just a pedestrian simplex front derailleur to finish up a mid 70s Peugeot PR 10 I am building:

Rider quality is a OK with me.

For some reason, there's not that many to choose from at eBay these days other than their mid level, French brazed on style FD, or the lately overpriced SLJ FD. Then there's a very few lower level stuff from the late 80's, but the late Simplex stuff was quite chintzy/cheaply made and not as good as their mid 80's derailleurs.
Be aware to that you will need to confirm whether the pull on your FD is on the front or the back, as Simplex made them for both configurations on some of their front derailleurs.

I have this one if you want it? It is for a triple. SJ A103. A bit worn but should work.

Steve: thanks a lot for sending me the pic. How much do you want? The inside cage has a chain gouge right?

Yes. Chain gouge. Otherwise nice. How about $16 shipped?
