Suntour Cyclone components
I recently acquired an old bike, it's a "Bonnelli Macadam" (?), and it has a total outfit of Suntour cyclone components...where do these fit into the great hierarchy of parts?
The only problem is that the damn rear derailleur has no spring anymore... : (

Bikes: 1 trek, serotta, rih, de Reus, Pogliaghi and finally a Zieleman! and got a DeRosa
early cyclone was top of the line until Superbe gruppo was introduced.
Depending on generation it could be top or 2nd tier gruppo.

I have always really liked Cyclone front and rear derailleurs. In shift quality/accuracy, I would put them up against anything else out there.

Cover the name of early Superbe and Cyclone and you would be hard pressed to see any difference. I love the early friction (raised letter) Cyclone stuff.

cyclone is great, put I have to say the parallelogram spring is week on the ones I have used... Durability is sub part compared to record and dura-ace.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"
Bikes: to many to list
Ive got this one but the mounting screw is missing, my pics suck 
it is a raised letter Suntour Cyclone, let me know if its something you can use, I need a Huret RD for my AD....

Here are the original derailleurs & shifters from my '81 Schwinn Super Sport; I hang on to them just in case I ever want to restore the bike to its original condition.

That's a really nice set Wil, and would fetch a nice price on ebay.
