SIMPLEX vintage gear shifters EROICA

This classic Simplex gear shifter represents a reliable mechanical control solution for vintage bicycle projects. Sourced specifically for retro cycling builds, this second-hand component brings period-correct functionality back to classic steel frames. As an authentic piece of cycling history, it is ideal for maintaining the mechanical integrity of your classic drivetrain.

Authentic Shift Control for Your Vintage Project

Finding original parts for older French and European drivetrains is increasingly difficult. This Simplex shifter offers a genuine mechanical action that modern reproductions cannot match. It mounts reliably to traditional frame bosses or matching clamps, ensuring your gear changes remain period-correct. This component has been visually inspected for structural soundness, though typical signs of age-related wear or storage-induced cosmetic marks may be present. The detailed photos form an essential part of the description to help you evaluate its exact aesthetic state.

Classic Drivetrain Integration

To achieve a fully period-correct friction shifting setup, you can pair this control lever with a matching French-made rear mechanism. For instance, you can complete your drivetrain assembly with a classic Simplex rear derailleur. For those who require a dual-lever configuration rather than a single unit, we also offer the full set of Simplex shifters in our store.
