Far and away more expensive than I would pay (even if all boxed NIB).
I am actually amazed at the Superbe price spike that happened over the last 6 months since I bought a few items.
Have you ever ridden with Sprint stuff?
Yeah I'm surprised too by the prices I'm seeing. About a year ago I had someone over on Paceline give me Superbe RD/FD/Brakes/Levers/shifters. He offered them for free over there and no one spoke up for about a week before I replied. Put them on my Team USA bike. Makes me appreciate his kind gesture even more.
I've been pricing out the parts and the price for the scraped NOS stuff doesn't seem all that bad compared to getting the stuff piece by piece.
I have had and used all sorts of Suntour parts. Can't complain about any of them that I had but the Superbe parts just feel better to me from the minute i first fondle the DT shifter....
I've got a couple of local bikes I may go look at that have the parts I need. Of course....that's how I wound up with the Bianchi I'm now refurbishing instead of parting out.
