Thank you.

Regarding the RD - Yes, you are correct, I had found that information here on this site - http://www.disraeligears.co.uk/Site/...erailleur.html and select the GT-300 because it was period correct for 1973, even though not fitted to the Super Sport at time of manufacture.

I learned the SunTour GT was considered an upgrade by some shops of the period, yet I preferred the look of the GT-300 hanging on the Superior project and when I saw on your SS, I just kept my eyes open for one at a swap or show, and got lucky.
