I've got old school Campy, modern Shimano, even some Simplex, but I love my Suntour. It's cheap, easily available, reliable and versatile. I even like the looks of most of it. The Cyclone II front derailleur is one of the most elegant looking of them all, even if the cheaply done logo rubs off. Maybe because they are so beautiful, that people keep polishing them.😎
My first build, a '73 Super Course, with GT Luxe RD, Cyclone II FD, shifted by Suntour Barcons. Shimano Megarange 34t and Sugino AT triple all play well together.
Love my barcons!
Nearly the same set-up on my '78 Super Course, except with a Sakae SR Apex double crank. Nice Suntour dropouts too.
