So the list of classic touring ders I've come up with:

SunTour Vx GT, VGT Luxe, Cyclone GT (when did Cyclones Mk II appear?) Shimano Crane, Titlest Campagnolo Rally Huret Duopar/Ecopar

Simplex LJ long cage (largest cog capacity?) Mavic 801 long cage (this one can shift to a 30?) Huret Jubilee long cage (this one can shift only to a 28?)
