Yeah, I saw those 14" long rear derailleur sections on eBay - for $50
I can't believe that the SunTour barcons I bought NEW in '76 from Bike Warehouse cost only $9.99 - and they included the stainless cables/housings/downtube stop at that price!! I recently paid close to $50 for just the two shifters, another $18 for the double downtube stop, and the cable housings are near impossible to find! That $14 cable kit from V-O is looking better and better!
