Simplex braze on model?
 
Organizing parts, I found this Simplex braze on front derailleur and was wondering what model it was. Hard to tell the difference for me.

Not that I will ever have any use for it...

I assume it will work with an adapter in which case a lot of people may want it since the plastic/delrin simplex FDs tend to crack.

Nope.

It uses a different braze-on, in a different place.

As far as I know no adapters are commercially available.

I made adapters from a Simplex single-gear-guide, but it takes machine tools and a bit of brazing or silver-soldering on the guide.

So yes, some people will want it, if they have a frame with that braze-on (or can do the work).

Good info. I was wondering about that so that's that's one more French oddity to add to the list.
