That's the best approach. And some of us (me included) feel that indexed Suntour components are on the shaky side.

Superbe Pro, Superbe, Cyclone, Sprint, BL (blue line) are all very worthy choices. Suntour Cyclone generation 1 is like eye candy to me, but older than the era you are looking for.

The disraeli site will give you insight into which Cyclones were indexed. Cyclone 7000 was the first indexing Cyclone.
