Got this from a friend. I sold it to him a few years ago and have reclaimed it. It has the hard to find 60-61 Simplex suicide shift front derailleur. Its been spray bombed dark gray. I plan on stripping to bare metal and polishing to look like titanium. Otherwise, everything else will be as close to stock as possible.

Very cool,I have never seen that front derailleur in person. From the pics I have seen it looks like a very simple design. I would like to find one someday.
