My vote would be to stick to Simplex as they shift wonderfully if set up correctly and stay with the original look. You should be able to find some nice ones with a little looking!

Weyless! Excellent Bill Shook design including the eccentric skewers.. Definitely a collectible bit of Yankee ingenuity!

Can't say about that, but those cranks tap out so easily to 9/16"! (What was I saying about staying original? )

Remember, we now know that PX-10s are worth $7100.00!!! ;-)
