Hi list members. Can anyone shed any light on a Simplex derailleur that app ears to be a cheaper version of the short lived Juy 61? They look very simi lar except the Simplex name is stamped into the outer plate rather than bei ng a separate riveted on part. The plating is mostly cadmium {except the ou ter plate} instead of chrome on the 61. They seem to be a little more com mon than 61's and generally sell for quite a bit less. Anyone know there of ficial name and roughly when they were available?  I haven't been able to find anything on the net, just 61's and prestige's. Thanks! Greg Lone Langley B.C. Canada
