suntour XC Pro rear derailleur, polished

Description

I have always liked Suntour component… their quality consistent from the top to the bottom of their line. Suntour moved US corporate offices to Novato in the 1980’s, nest door to White Industries. I knew some of the folks that ran operations there.
I put a Suntour XC Pro group on the Mountain Bike I built for the Art of The Mountain Bike Show…
A gripe I’ve had with many manufacturers is black anodizing. Great looking when new, the first scratch destroys the appearance...This changer had a tight body, smooth sealed bearings pulleys, high spring tension but a couple scratches that made it look more used than it’s mechanical condition indicates…so I enjoyed polishing it. Polished finishes are easy to maintain…. And you never know when you might need to signal for help…lol
