FYI.......
Mavic also issued an FD with a French style front braze on mount.
It was their 801 and SSC derailleur sets that had an optional body pivot the slot to use with the French mount.
Unfortunately though, the slot on the Mavic FD does not quite match up to where Peugeot located their FD mounting boss on their bikes so the Mavic FD end up a little bit to high, away from the top of the chainrings and clocked slight to the left.
I was still able to make the Mavic 801 FD work on my 84 Peugeot PSV with some "creative" slight reshaping of the FD cage and by mounting it as low as possible on its slot.
Never could figure out why Mavic and Simplex did not coordinate their designs for the French style brazed on FD's......
