Simplex - gear shifters that were the weapon of choice during the early/mid eighties and marmite derailleurs - you either loved or hated them.
Maillard - quirky hubs that required a special tool - swallowed up by Sachs who morphed into Sachs.
Gipiemme's still knocking around - a lot of there stuff was re-badged and not their own design. They still 'make' wheels.
Spidel - the original French attempt at a groupset (mainly a Maillard / Simplex / Stronglight combo platter)
