These were designed for touring bikes, and were often used on early mountain bikes.  It was essentially the prettied up, nicer version of the Mountech, the world's 1st mountain bike specific derailleur.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was (and still is!) the only derailleur EVER to have a completely enclosed parallelogram.  It's also the only derailleur ever to have no need for a cable housing into the derailleur.  The cable runs under the bottom bracket, through a radiused cable guide (included!), and directly to the derailleur's cable pinch bolt.  This eliminated the possibility of dirt gumming anything up and slowing shifting. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew, in box, never installed.  Absolutely perfect!  Includes the original Suntour labeled cable guide (RARE!), and a hanger to mount on frames that need a direct mount. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMid cage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNo date code (these were too pretty to mar with a code!), produced in 1982 and 1983.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Suntour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52538437075084,"sku":"723","price":123.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5144\/9740\/files\/img_9459_1280x853__99074.1411479884.1280.1280.jpg?v=1791144482","url":"https:\/\/swooncycles.com\/products\/nib-nos-suntour-superbe-tech-rear-derailleur-mid-cage-w-cable-guide","provider":"Swoon Cycles (Bike ReCyclery)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
