Rare Simplex derailleurs, the front derailleur lever is on the down tube, rear derailleur lever on top tube, as was the fashion in the late 40s for quality bikes. Top quality Jeay brakes and levers. Beautiful lightweight alloy pedals, double large ratio randonneur Cyclo chainrings. Reinor bell, alloy handlbar and stem. Alloy hubs and wing nuts. Idéale 44 saddle. 1Interesting design alloy front light, rear light, reflector.
