Don,

I'm fighting a losing battle with the Suntour Spirt FD on my daughters 1978 Motobecane Mirage. The chain contact surfaces are severely grooved, and the movements are poor due to worn joints. Any thought if a switch to a Compe-V would be plug-&-play? Could I take parts off of the Spirt to complete yours? If it looks possible, I'd love to have it. Should I PM you?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
