Hi folks

I'm currently contemplating buying a frameset, but the front mech appears to be mounted by a bolt straight into the frame, and not the conventional braze on or band on mount.
Has anyone heard of this, or know what mechs would work?

The frame is a mid '80s model,

Thanks,

Mike
 
Re:

Funny you say that, yes!

Called French fitting according to Velobase.

Now need to find one!

Re:

Thanks mate,

I've now seen two Simplex mechs that would be suitable. Asked the seller if he has the original one.

Fingers crossed.

That's a new one to me, not knowingly seen it before.

Every day is a school day :)
