I'm broadening my horizon beyond French and Campagnolo components. Time to build up a bike, my recently acquired Chas Roberts, with Suntour components. NOS preferred, really nice used is fine too. This stuff is new to me so not sure how easy/hard it is to find. Here's what I'm looking for:

1st generation Suntour Superbe (1979ish?): 27.2 two bolt fluted seatpost 36h hubset, high flange preferred, low flange considered Headset, English thread Front & rear derailleurs

1st generation Suntour Cyclone: Cyclone GT rear derailleur

Brooks B17 Champion Special: Big rivets, chamfered lower edges of leather, must have chrome rails, brown preferred but other colors ok.

Dale has a link on his site with pictures:

Please let me know if you have something along with condition and price. If there is something you wish to trade for, please let me know and I'll dig through my parts to see if I have it.

Thanks in advance,
