The Golden Boy 

As far as Suntour pr0n...

Among my favorites are:

Command Shifters-

Then there's Suntour XC- Before XC Pro was the top ATB/MTB group- it was XC (just plain ol' "XC" with nothing after it). This is one of the 1985/86ish XC derailleurs- the decals were gone and it was pretty beat up- I just polished it up- and it actually looked pretty nice. Amazingly- it's probably my best shifting Suntour friction derailleur- but it's also my heaviest.

Probably the best all around front derailleur ever- the Mountech. (as opposed to the worst ever rear derailleur- the Mountech)

The Mountech without the cable stop weighs less than the Superbe Pro or even Dura Ace 7700 or 7800 clamp-on FDs- it handles doubles, triples and half step and a granny with ease. This one has the 2nd generation markings.

To go along with that (and to compliment Nicolas' Mountech on the previous page)- one of the ultra long cage, ultra big jockey 2nd generation Mountechs:

And just because it's "jewelry for your bike," Superbe Pro:
