It _is_ a beautiful biycle. I'm happy it's not my size.
I did notice that there is an error in the setup of the Simplex Tour de France derailleur however. The pulley cage should be turned 180 degrees from what is shown in the jpeg below. Counter intuitive I know, but all the Simplex instruction sheets show that the TdF is setup with the "take-up" pulley to the top. Very common error...
