1977. Elvis and Marc Bolan die. Sex Pistols, The Clash, Abba The Album. Saturday Night Fever, Star Wars, Atari, Apple II. And this beauty was made.
Suntour Cyclone GT rear derailleur (date code TB - Feb 1977). Arguably the best shifting and looking long cage rear mech, almost certainly the lightest (190g). This is in wonderful condition for its age, with original jockey wheels showing hardly any wear, no play in the pivots, tight spring. Just a few surface scratches, but hardly visible when on the bike. Wish I'd aged so well.
Perfect for anyone who wants to ride an elegant period bike up steep hills with period (perhaps elegant) knees... Which is what I was going to do, but then went down the more modern (90s) route.
£27.50 posted. Now SOLD. Thanks David!
