Just finished a 3rensho build with a superbe pro group that i've been waiting to try out for a long time and can attest to the silky smooth brakes.

If you can find one.

I have no love for Accushift. I can't stand how the shifters feel, and on one Mangusta (Mongoose roadie) I had, it shifted so badly I backed out of selling the bike to someone out of embarrassment. Cyclone M-II is my group of choice, Nice looking, lightweight, and performs like a dream. The perfect package IMHO. I put it on my Club Fuji in place of the original ARX, and never looked back. I also have it on my 80 Raleigh Super Course 12, AND my 85 Peugeot PH10LE. Second on my list is Suntour Blue Line. I have a set with black inserts. It performs as well as the Cyclone in my opinion.,,,,BD

are those the one's with the hidden spring?

yes they are

The hidden-spring calipers are, IMHO, the best-designed sidepull calipers ever designed, and the sexiest. White-background photo shows a prototype set, with no logo screening on arms. Black-background photo were late-production calipers with BRS stickers on the reverse.

Also threw up a pic with the main Spb/Spb Pro derailleur family tree...http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261753http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261754http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=261755

1983 Trek 760:

Great minds think alike! ;)

Cannondale SR, Team Comp or ST from 83 to 89. Lots of Cannondales from that era used a variety of Suntour components, including the White Lightning.

'89 Black Lightning with Sprint/Accushift was one of the nicest indexed 7 speed DT shifting bikes I've ever ridden.

!Wow

Interesting retro look on Trek 760 1983 and Fuji Team, I am thinking about the different color on the head tube. Makes me associate to 70s Raleigh.

The '85 Trek 460 (little racer brother to the 760 above) was equipped with the then new Cyclone S RD and it works like no other. Smooth and quick shifts. I'd love to put one on the Techie PRE.

The "S" would rock on any Columbus/Vitus/531. But that's just me.

The '83 Trek 760 came from the factory with the head-tube painted in contrasting color.
They also had nice, db 531 frames and fork, and Campy DO's, but have become a little pricier on eBay.

-Actually any of the preceding suggestions would be great if priced right for you.

As soon as I get my Katakura frame photographed it's going on the market ..

I had no idea my suntour sprint group was sought after! the RD is well worn, but the cranks, FD and brake set is in good condition.

You must get the superbe pedals to finish it up, some of the nicest pedals ever made. I would make the rear derailleur housing a bit longer. I know it is friction, so not a big deal, but that bend is going to eat the lining pretty fast.

Edit: I really mean no offense, just a suggestion as a working mechanic I have learned what cable lengths work best. The bike is beautiful BTW... the brake cable look a little short also which may add some unwanted friction.
