I have reprints of two of the Fonteyn catalogs available on my web site at http://www.velo-retro.com that show the bike under discussion:
Fonteyn Catalog, 1939 -- 24 pages, London importer of accessories from France, Belgium and Italy, beautifully illustrated. Great Simplex info, including a very informative section on the proper set-up of the Simplex Champion du Monde Professional derailleur. Highly recommended! B&W cover. $ 8 Fonteyn Catalog, 1950 -- 48 pages, London importer of accessories from France, Belgium and Italy, beautifully illustrated. Great Simplex info, including a very informative section on the proper set-up of the Simplex TdF derailleur. Highly recommended! B&W cover. $ 10
