Eric- I just looked at a Suntour pamphlet I got in Japan in late 81. Its written in Japanese, so I can't help you ouit a whole lot, but from the photos, this is what I am able to make out. No long cage Superbe was offered. Yes, the Cyclone & Cyclone GT used the same rear derailleur body. It would also appear that the long cage from a Cyclone be easily fitted to a Superbe body.

      Did the 1st generation Suntour Superbe rear derailleur ever come in a long cage version like the Cyclone GT? If yes, anyone have a nice one for sale? If no, then my questions are: Did the 1st generation Cyclone v.s. Cyclone GT use the same rear derailleur body but just a different length cage? If the cage was the only difference, could the long cage from a Cyclone be easily fit to a Superbe with postive results? Thanks in advance, Eric Elman Somers, CT
