I completed my local scouring for a hanger/anchor bolt for a Cyclone rear derailleur that I am planning on mounting to my Super Sport and got a little closer to that goal. That means I am cobbling together make-works, so we'll see how I like it.

While at an LBS that sells used parts (Recycled Cycles), they presented me the Bin of Broken Dreams...er Derailleurs. Of course there are lovely formerly nice RDs in there, and of course 2X there is a Superbe Pro RD (truly what I'm looking for) that's really just missing a few replaceable hardware bits. What a shine to that finish! The text/label was in great shape too. I offered to buy it and take the chance. One of the employees took it to the manager in the back. He did not return with it. Told me they didn't want to sell it. Fair enough, but I hope they rehab it (to use personally or sell)--it worked just fine... I may just have to swap my Superbe Tech RD on the SS then!
