Here's a page from velobase.com on their various brand's shifting systems. See SunTour AccuShift 5th one down & it will tell you what goes with what. Have fun. Not sure if you're near a co-op, but I bought a Suntour XC Sport 7000 for $7.00 at the local co-op and it allows AccuShift. I had already purchased an Accushift friendly freewheel, then bought Accushift 6 speed thumb shifters and it worked great. The shifters were new & freewheel "lightly" used & price wasn't too bad.
Sometimes we do end up spending more than the bike is worth, however, if that's not an issue, then it can be a good learning experience.
Have fun & keep us posted.
