This would have worked quite well (especially with Suntour having by this time gone to uniform/symmetrical 8s cog spacing), assuming that they were attaching the derailer cable to the "wrong" side of the rear derailer pinch bolt!
I've gotta think that they surely did just that on these special bikes.
