Suntour promotional bike, XC comp/pro, Bridgestone 18" MB-3

[tuercas]

Promotional bike for bikeshows built just before Suntour went out of business. Groupset is mostly XC comp, with an XC pro chainset, the rarely seen Suntour X1 gripshifters and derailleurs, and the Suntour XC handlebar stem. It also has a very unusual rear derailleur cable mount, as in it's double, may have been designed anticipating that the White Industries double cable system was going to go big. Condition is hardly ridden, brake blocks are original and hardly worn, chain, cassette etc. are pristine. Rims are Ambrosio with Sapim spokes, very nicely built wheels.

I forgot a price, would be looking for 250 squids plus 50 shipping to UK via post.nl (Dutch post service with tracking)

Re:

Nice.

The mount is probably like that as the boss is designed for the S-1 system (1993?) and so they've just bolted a guide onto it that is probably from something else (top tube or under down tube bolt on ?). Though they did actually make a simple boss for normal setup to go on it.

I'd never heard/seen these, but yes, looks most likely:
