A beautiful derailleur but performance is marginal, compared to even their French counterparts.
Unfortunately, it was traits like that with their components that gave the Japanese companies the opportunity it to present themselves as a serious alternatives to the already established and then dominant Euro component makers.

Yes very correct. I have no idea why but there is still that appeal myself included. Then again I like early 70’s alphas as well. I do own bikes with suntour, hurret, shimano just not on any bike that was sold with campy. That being said if I am bringing an old bike to a modern fast group ride it Is one with 6 speed suntour.
