Really not sure how you can say this without actually having one at hand. As I say in my prior post, I have a horde of old Simplex seat posts, two of them NOS. I fully expect the Nitto product to be head and shoulders above the Simplex in both looks and quality. And this is coming from an avid collector of Simplex components. The Retrofriction DT shifters duly excepted, most Simplex components belong on the display shelf or a ceiling hanging decoration bike. Even the vaunted Simplex SLJ derailleurs had their share of foibles Huret and Campy consistently made better product (save, of course, the lovely to look at but horrid Campy Rally rear der).
