WTB: Suntour front derailleur double

[Joel]

Looking for a nice (NOS) double front derailleur. Open to other vintage brands

[John Casteen]

I may have it. What's your down tube diameter?

I have a Superbe that looks to be unused, Superbe Pro band clamp that has been used (substantially shorter cage and less bulk than the Superbe), Shimano fd-1055 that appears unused, and Shimano fd-5000 Sante showing light use.

It is 28.6

Feel free to disregard if you've already scored. But I generally want to know what chainrings somebody's shifting, and maybe a little bit about the frame, before matching them with a front derailleur. Yeah, most anything can shift most anything, but if you're running a subcompactish 46/30 or such, one of the newer fders designed for smaller outer rings might work better. Shifting can be a little cleaner when the cage radius matches the rings better, and the shorter cages can help avoid grief. Like, fer instance, if you're trying to run a smaller outer ring on a bike with above-bb der cable guides, sometimes a longer vintage fder cage rear section hits the rder cable before you can get the fder low enough over the outer ring. Ask me how I know....

I'm thinking you were looking for subcompact cranks, but I'm fuzzy on what you actually landed, and can't recall what frame all this stuff is going on.

Joel, If you still need one, I have one I could let go.
