Suntour Power (ratcheting friction) Thumb Shifters
I really do love these old friction shiftrrs. However, I am replacing them with a slightly more modern set so that I can enjoy the option of indexed shifting.
Below are photos of the shifters as used on my Trek to help illustrate how the shifters might appear mounted on your bike. Such a classic aesthetic IMHO. A few photos of the shifters unmounted and ready to pack for shipping are included as well.
They show normal signs of average usage, and they function very well. For what it's worth, I used these successfully in a 7 speed configuration.
...
Will ship within 2 to 3 days upon receiving payment. USPS tracking provided upon shipment.

Are these considered XC?

I think these are pre-XC. Maybe PLG-something, or a thumbie version of the power shifter?
