> though I will concede that you'd be hard pressed to find a new rear derailleur as crappy as what was considered state-of-the-art in the 1970s. Pretty much agree, although I wonder why it appears so hard for modern manufacturers to make a rear der as good looking as the Simplex were. For friction shifting, I could not be happier with my mid-90s (and relatively attractive) long cage Shimano Ultegra. They come up NOS or good used condition now and then, although less so than a few years back.
