Long story short, this evening I removed the SunTour parts from my recently built up 78 Gazelle, and rebuilt with Nuovo Record. The last screw I need ed to tighten before final adjustment was the front derailleur cable clamp bolt. Which I discovered was stripped, furthermore the threads in the pivo t arm are stripped so a simple bolt swap wasn't going to fix it.
Thus, I am in need of a new front derailleur. As said, frame is an 78, but parts are a mix so age of part really isn't of much concern. Have some ea rly SunTour Cyclone and Superbe parts to trade if interested, or will buy o utright. Thanks!
