I've taken more pictures of all the details on the bike. Just looking at the Simplex derailleur makes me want to keep it and not convert to a fixie. I'm really not sure. If you asked me: I think the modern derailleurs are just functional, whereas the old ones from the 70s/80s were also quite the lookers.
However, the bike needs a complete change of cables (inner and outer). I feel safer that way; have seen too many cases of 'snapped cables' in the shop. The last thing I want, when going down a hill, is something causing me having to brake hard and the cable gives. I'm literally having nightmares about that.
The seat post was a tiny bit difficult to move, but after a treatment with a Plus Gas equivalent, it's now moving. Getting it out, however, will be a tad hard.
So, here are the pictures of the whole bike. Did I mention that I like a challenge?
