Superbe Pro RD?
I picked up a trio of bikes today - a Knottingham Raleigh, Centurion Bicycle Company, and a Fuji S-12. Only the Fuji had alloy rim 27" tires. Not a great find. I"m cleaning it up to flip but noticed it has a Superbe Pro rear derailleur. It's light and is shining up nice. The FD is marked Suntour Vx and the downtube Suntour shifters are marked "power" and ratchet. Is the Superbe worth hanging onto? The Suntour GT off one bike was bent and I only have a Shimano 400 RD riveted to a hanger on hand.
I have to put new tires, a saddle, tape (had cloth but I'm too lazy at the moment to cloth/shellac), and shift cables to flip the bike. I don't expect to get much back on the trio unless their frames sell for fixies.
