I have some front and rear mechs. with Gipiemme livery but are clearly by casting, stampings and such Simplex SLJ and something else which I cannot recall at the moment. Does anyone know for certain when Gipiemme "partnered" with Simplex? Thanks. Richard Cielec ------------------------------------------------------------- Richard- As far as I know the Gipiemme-Simplex relationship was at least partnered by 1980. How many years previous or afterwards I don't really for sure. I would only add that I have seen 1985 era Gipiemme rear derailleurs on ebay that were most defiantely not made by Simplex. I am assuming Gipiemme made these all by their lonesome, but if someelse has more acurate info, I would like to hear it
as well.
