My brother and I are restoring a 1984 Peugeot PGN10, which he found discarded behind a building at his work. A previous owner switched the rear derailleur for a Campagnolo Nuovo Record which we plan to keep (but need to find jockey wheels). The front derailleur is a broken Simplex (likely original) attached via braze-on. We want to match the RD with a Campy NR front derailleur, but it seems that the braze-on fitting is in a different orientation on the Simplex vs any of the Campy's we've seen on eBay. The threads in the frame are on the lateral axis; whereas, all the braze-on Nuovo Records I've seen on eBay require threads through the frame on the longitudinal axis. Should we just get a clamp-on NR? I'd prefer a solution that doesn't leave the bike looking unfinished with an empty braze-on. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
