But he is sort of right, Odlorah. Those derailleurs were Suntours top end racing parts back when. Very generous of your neighbor to give them to you. Maybe he can also help you find a frame that might be more suitable for these high end parts.
Yes... The news is that my neighbor ended up giving me the frame where the Superbe came from... It is a beautiful and light SR Maxima frame, Tange2... I asked him to sell it to me, but he offered it for free. When I insisted on paying he said: ok, give me ten cents for it... In reality he gave it to my wife.... Which is like stealing candy from a toddler...
