WTB Suntour Superbe RD
My '84 Turbo needs one. All my other vintage race bikes have gone to new owners but I'm keeping this one. It is time I got a proper RD.

Hey! What a surprise to see that pic pop up so many years later. IIRC I took some pics right after I got the bike, which would have been around Christmas '90? I'm surprised you found the pic though as I thought all that I'd uploaded to my gallery here disappeared after a site update.
That Turbo was not quite right for me but it sure was sweet, and also something you do NOT see every day.

I just got one of these to "complete" my Turbo. Nice Superbes are too pricy.

I’m a little late here, but I’ve still
got this one available. Can definitely be flexible on price.

Thanks AG, I should have checked the Sales again this morning. When I started my search, I was insisting on the regular Superbe which is Catalogue correct. Now, not so much. I may even swap the shifters to Campy (which shouldn't slip like the Suntours?)
