SunRace rear derailleur. The derailleur seems to based on an old Shimano design. It should work well. ..
Nice Suburban by the way.
Thanks for the link! I pulled a Vgt off an Fuji that is yet to be repaired (NOT a doner bike, just a loan for now) and am going to try and rebuilt the original Huret (since everything on this bike is original, even the TUBES, I replaced the tubes though

) Even the Saddle is in great shape , good thing since impossible to find saddles for those tiny seatposts. I don't need great shifting, just functional at best. This is my first Schwinn. I will keep you in mind though if I need to. CHEERS! Rita
