DhB (?) Front Derailleur - anyone know anything about this one?
Well, I think it says DhB. Anyone have any clue what this is? Appears to be a replacement for the OEM Suntour that would have originally been there.

DNB. Old Japanese company. Made some decent parts, including a cool "Climber" thumbie much like Suntour's first.

Lovely dérailleurs those DNB! Here's one of two rear derailleurs that I used to own:

Dai Nippon Bicycle also made bicycles, imagine that! I've never seen one but the head tube badge shown in my flickr set is from a current (as of Nov. 16, 2013) ebay sale. The seller knows nothing about DNB but somewhere there's a bike without a badge.
