Suntour groupset

With all this talk of hard garbage...

what has happened to all the Suntour parts out there?

Gota a friend who has his pride and joy stolen, and am looking to help
him build another bike.
He's an ex-Vet racer who has a tear in his eye when talking about
friction shifting and cant get used to index (how?)

Anyways, got him a nice old Hillman which will get painted, but wanna
find him some an old groupset - Superbe would be great.

None of the shops, I've tried in metro melb have nought, any one know
wheres there might be parts gathering dust? Used is good, just not
unusable.

Heck I'll take what ever and cobble together what I can.

thanks

Bicycle Recycle might be the place to start... see what they've picked off old bikes. Heck, it might even be cost-effective to buy one of their old bikes complete if it's got the groupset you want on it...

If you want my frames you're welcome to rummage through my collection of scavenged parts to see if anything's useful...

Yes, had a look, (admittedly a very long look through all their stuff)

But only a coupla' bits, thanks will continue the hunt.......

that'd be great, will organise next week? to come and see whjat you
might have

many thanks

(live in Nunawading ...so quite close)

Abbotsford cycles might also be worth a squiz... I know they have some old parts lurking around there....

Great - I'll get the stuff ready for show 'n tell. As it is the 56cm repco has a relatively complete-looking old tourney groupset on it already...

dont have too much, have a NIB bottom bracket and a used but rock solid robust six speed sprocketset on freewheel hub....sorry cant give any specs for a week on the BB...Cecil Walker had a heap of Sunour downshifter bits, cables, groupies etc and NOS stuff on a clearance table recently...they may still have some leftovers...otherwise set a search for eBay and watch what comes by....
