My dad bought me and my twin brother a pair of viscounts in 1975 ( we were 12 ). Mine had Shimano gears and my brothers had Simplex. Most school mates bikes had Huret or Simplex in those days and I thought my Shimano's shifted gear smoother than most. I gained credibility when a friends clubman father was interested in my bike.
