Which Simplex is this

[sisyphus]

Just wondering the date and model. I'm hoping to put it on a Holdsworth Cyclone.

Some sort of "tour re France" model?

Simplex Tour de France, guessing late 1950s.

Get the cage the right way up, what is shown as the lower roller is the top roller, just adjust the tension, they ran fairly tight. The plastic rollers may not be original?

Thanks Keith and Shaun. The plastic rollers say simplex L J on them. Generally it looks unused.....might look nice on the Holdsworth

Blimey, the things you can get off the net never fail to amaze, rather like the size of the mudguard stay on the final pics
