Hi all,

Good to be back with the group-grad school is finally done-phew! Now, back to the really important stuff.

I couldn't find this in the archives, but I'm sure someone in the collective wisdom will have the answer for me:

I'm looking for a Suntour Superbe/Superbe Pro braze-on front derailleur, from the red/gold box vintage. Did they make a braze-on back then, or am I looking for 'chicken lips' (i.e. no such thing)? All I keep finding are clamp-ons ; the only braze-ons I've found are from the newer silver box era.

If Suntour did make 'em, does anyone have one in VG to mint condition that they would be willing to sell or trade? Having the box would be nice, but not necessary.

Please contact me off-list. Oh, I'm also looking for a Superbe/Superbe Pro headset-same era, same condition.

As always, thanks in advance for your help.

PS Just a reminder-The BCP fleamarket is this Sunday am, on Boathouse Row by Lloyd Hall (behind the Art Museum). Starts around 9am, I think. It's not as big as T-town, but sometimes there are some really interesting items FS. Disclaimer-nope, I'm not selling or related to anyone who is. Anyone needs directions, please let me know.
