using this as a resource

I could use quite a few makes from 86-87 Shimano Deore XT, MKS Grafight 2000, Suntour XC II Suntour XC-II/XC Comp, Victor XC-II style, MKS Grafight 2000, Shimano SX, KKT Bear Trap, SR SP-452, SR MTP-100

however I really want suntour xc or xt as this is the mixed groupo I have gathered so far.

Waiting on a response from a guy on gumtree (Singapore)

I believe shimano introduced SPD's in 86 so they would be cool to I suppose.

Is trying to source period cables/outers a bit extreme and impossible
