SunTour SL braze-on front derailleur. New, $65.00/each

Part# 75082

• We have two in stock
• Produced 1991 - 1994

This is a wonderfully adjustable derailleur, made like no other derailleur we have seen. The portion of the derailleur body that bolts to the bicycle frame's braze-on tab is a separate part from the derailleur body itself. Once the derailleur is fixed to the bike, a hard-to-see (in our pictures) bolt at the top of the body can be loosened and the derailleur's angle can be easily and precisely set. Please look at pictures two and three to see what we mean.

Side view

Front view. The part of the derailleur body that bolts to the frame has notches on its top to allow it to be firmly set in place. The top of the bolt that secures it can be seen.

Back of the derailleur. It's easier to see the two independent parts of the derailleur body in this picture.
