Looking for a late 70's Suntour Cyclone der.
Can anyone help me out? I have the front one, but sold the rear on a bike like a big dummy. This is like
the ones on Schwinn Continental in the late 70's. Like the pic, but has a hanger.,,,,BD
Please help, if you have one you can spare. Hopefully not too corroded, and lettering scratched off....

Do you want wide-range or narrow?

The pix is of a later model, the mid 70's Cyclone rear is a beauty, can take the chain off the deraileur without unbolting anything ... the cages are very art deco
anyone has a clamp on Front? with built in cable housing stop? the outside plate on mine is worned thru
(not my doing)

My front cyclone clamp was broken when I got the bike (i was sad) now I have a newer cyclone MK II in place which looks kinf of funny compared to the 80 or 81 rear (no I will not part with it). I have a 1975 first gen cyclone rear that I was very excited about with black annodising etc... however when I put it on the bike and went for a ride the performance was garbage, the reason, the spring is shot... I am not trying to tease but I will be keeping that one as a collectable as well. My one critisism (sp?) of the early cyclone is the weak spring. My 81 spring is weak but it still shifts okay. Doesn't compare to a campy spring, that's for sure.
