SIMPLEX SUPER LJ

Well after getting the Peugeot all 

up and running with Simplex 410

running gear, and being mightily impressed

at its ease of set up and operation.

I had to try out a set of the Simplex

flagship range, Super LJ.

After trawling Ebay for way to long

I finally got a set at a very reasonable price

As you can see,they are really beautifully finished.

Strange that you don't really see this stuff in New Zealand, 

as it was pretty competitively priced at the time.

during the TDF.

Bernard won the Tour in 1977 for

Peugeot, with an all French

group set, including the

Simplex SLJ, although his was

the gold version.

So pretty....
