Geetings List Members:

My main vintage ride is a Holdsworth Pro which I first equipped with Campagnolo SR equipment. After reading the archives and other list member opinions, I swapped the rear derailleur to a Simplex Super LJ with retrogrouch shifters. Made a world of difference. This past weekend, I borrowed my brother's late 70's Falcon which is equipped with Campy NR stuff. It was like night and day (granted, i think he needs to replace his chain). So my question is this....what famous racers of the day used Simplex Super LJ, if any? I know Sean Kelly used Mavic SSC, but I'm wondering about the Super LJ. Did anyone use it on the QT? Just curious......
