I seem to remember the Vallee being offered with some MBK and possibly Gitane road bikes in the very early 90s. The mech itself looked decent enough although Simplex's indexed levers were a bit crude compared with all the other brands.

Thankyou for the info, it does seem to be good quality and im running it with a shimano shifter, which is working well.
