[USED - this highly coveted front derailleur is in superb condition without much evidence of imperfection other than minor markings to be found on the inner cage plate consistent with light use and the slightest bit of blemish to the Simplex badging (...and to view that, you need to be right up on top of this component with a good set of eyes) - the chrome plating is near perfect, there is no chamfering to any of the bolt or screw heads, the anodized finish on the derailleur body is unblemished, and the action is smooth and crisp - this is a good as it gets with respect to a front derailleur which has actually seen use and was not just mounted onto a "show only" display bike]
