WTB: Suntour Superbe Pro Crankset
Looking for a Suntour Superbe Pro crankset. Not picky about length, or about chainring color.
It needs to be the mid-80s version with the 144 BCD, because that's what I have a bottom bracket for.
If someone has the newer 130 BCD version with a bottom bracket, I might be interested in that too.
Thanks!

As I understand it, the Superbe Pro bottom bracket has a specific taper that's unique to all Superbe Pro cranks, regardless of BCD. If you have a spindle width of 112-113mm you should be ok with either BCD if it's a road double you're after.
I have a mint pair of late '80s 130 BCD cranks in 170mm without chainrings if you're interested.

I have just the cranks, no chainrings, almost new condition---it was apparently mounted once. Have had it probably five years and not done anything with it, so time to let it go!
Arms are 172.5. I may also have caps for it, I know I bought them but am not sure where they ended up. It may take me till the weekend but I will find it and get pics up.

Yeah, I've done a lot of research about the different tapers. The reason I'm looking for the model with the 144 BCD is that I have a bottom bracket with the correct spindle length for that one - 109mm. If I go with the later model, I would also have to find another bottom bracket with the correct spindle length and the unique taper, and those are hard to find/really expensive.

Here is the crankset I have. Unfortunately this is the early 90s version with a 130BCD. 80s version with 144BCD has an incised 'S' and black as opposed to grey applied logo. Sorry I could not help, but will leave pic up here FYI.
