Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

Released in 1983, this was cutting edge technology for the touring and mountain bike world! The Mountech was essentially an ARX body with a Superbe Tech cage and pulleys.  It has a floating cage, dual parallelogram, and doesn't require a cable housing!  A favorite for vintage touring bikes for it's high capacity, great looks, smooth shifting, and durability.  This is the "L" model, which is a medium to long cage.  The GTL model had the extra long cage similar to today's triple mountain bike cage length.  

This is a fairly rare derailleur, and was only made for a couple years.  

Condition

Excellent VERY lightly used shape.  Mechanically it's perfect.  Pulleys, springs, and pivots are perfect with no grit or wear.  The faceplate has a light scrape on the right side, that looks like it was caused by a wrench tightening the cable bolt.  Just a few light marks otherwise.

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
