Dear Listers,

Are Simplex #651 all-Delrin shifters within the purview of this list? Did they work as well as the LJ retrofrictions?

I'd never heard of or seen these before I saw them on ebay , although I certainly knew about the inexpensive levers (and :-( Prestige derailleurs) on the UO-8 I rode in 1971-2, as well as the lovely retrofriction LJ levers that I used later on my second PX-10 (which Mavic copied or bought from Simplex later on, I believe)...

Also, did anyone else get fewer than the 15 advertised emails listed as being in today's Volume 68 #64 Digest today? I only received the first four emails of the 15 Dale listed...

Thanks,
