Subject: [CR]huret or simplex front derailer

greetings bike buffs just the other day someone spoke of a simplex front changer that bolted right onto the downtube at a right angle from front. well, a couple of days later a friend walks in with a bike he just bought that needed just such a derailer. it is an interesting bike made by "mecacycle" a french bicycle company. it is fillet brazed with a double downtube which the tire stuck through. thus the need for that bolt on derailer. i told him i would try to find one. so here i am asking if any of you have such a creature to part with. to see the huret that is now worn through please see http://www.oldtowncyclery.com/huret.htm please email off list if you have a derailer that would work on this frame.
thanks
peace
