which model no. is it - Suntour Model: LD-4850? I picked up a new pair a while ago for about $15. still waiting for a project.
The shifters I put on my new RB-1 Project are the Suntour SL model SL- SL00-B which do indexing and friction. circa '91-94. I'm very happy with these so far. And I think the LD 4850 model is what Dia Compe copied to make the Silver Shifter sold today. ~Mike~ On May 25, 12:08 pm, William <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I like my Silver shifters a lot.
