Greetings:

I know this was discussed not to long ago, but I was asleep during the class session.

I have recently acquired a French frameset which has Simplex dropouts, and an unthreaded derailleur hanger with no stops. What do I use for a rear derailleur? I think the frameset is most likely late '70s. Unfortunately, I have no hands-on familiarity with Simplex derailleurs any more recent than the TDF (exept for the evil black plastic thing).

I seem to recall having seen reference to some sort of adapter which Huret offered for the Dupar/Challenger, but I've never seen or touched one.

If you know what I need, and have one to sell, please respond off-list.

Thanks,
