Suntour Symmetric friction shifters, endless clamp, Cyclone
But if I read things correctly: with just a longer bolt this same housing could be used with that braze-on boss, just jettison the clamp.
This pair is just like the pic of the non-Cyclone but has the "Cyclone levers" with long slots, plus the modern logo (SUNTOUR in thin frame) on the mount's body.
EDIT: just had a chance to compare this with another set that has the "symmetric" stamped on the housing, plus different tension screws (no "coin slot" only Allen hex interface) and have discovered that THESE appear NOT to have that "symmetric" function of a cam that "trims" the LH (FD) lever according to position of the RH (RD) lever. This set has a more simple center boss that has no such cam, so these are some variant I cannot find details of on Velobase, apparently NOT an LD-2350 nor the Cyclone MK 11 LD-2300...they seem to be FRICTION ONLY with no "extra trimming function".
So that might be a positive feature or could be a deficiency, depends on what you're after.
NOW LOWER PRICED
$25 includes shipping to ConUSA address, if you're overseas or Canada: we can work something out for shipping.
But certainly open to an offer.
EDIT: updated with actual photos of actual shifters:

Bumping with a lower price.
Note the smooth shiny "barrel" inside the housing of pic #2, this is what I see as the only difference between this unit and the truly "symmetric" versions (aside from the lack of that term stamped on the housing and the type of tension screws).
