Hi Guys, I am not an expert on Simplex, but where does the 537 Luxe derailleur fit into this picture.? I have seen this referred to as being fitted to late 60's PX-10s. Is this the model number for the Criterium? I always thought that the Criterium derailleur had the silver background. I am getting very confused. I wish they had put the model on the derailleur body, but they are all marked "PRESTIGE-SIMPLEX" All the best, Peter Rogers
