That chainset is very very appealing - and rare so very much so!!! Good catch there my friend - whats the BCD ? Does the seller have more ?Rank_21":3lz2k240 said:Just got these, this morning. Advertised as being simplex prototypes :roll: they look very similar to mavic wishbone shifters. On disraeli gears, the author mentions that mavic were rumored to have made there derailleurs through simplex. Most likely the shifters also. The same seller also sold a nos solida crankset (wanted something different). Quite nice and light, but the rings themselves are heavy. These will go on my pre vbrake french build.

Haven’t seen these beforeRank_21":2tffbxde said:Thought I'd add these. Only french made flat pedals I could find.Initially these are BMX pedals, however from a previous link on generationmountainbike the MTB lyotard pedals "forest pedals" are fairly similar. Can't find any info on year etc.
