Vintage Suntour Barcon Bar End Shifter Set (2) Friction Complete 1974

Description

Suntour Barcon
Bar End Shifters
Friction
This is a pair, left and right side Suntour barcon shift
levers (control both derailleurs). Whether you buy mine, or a set from someone else, be sure they include the original lock nuts. This is my last pair with lock nuts. Screws are shiny and bright, lock nuts are pitted (see pictures). One has a date code "QH" = August. 1974.
These were the standard for touring bikes for over two decades. I still use them myself, as I prefer the flexibility of friction shifting over indexing.
I
have been collecting vintage bicycles for almost 50 years now (I started with them when they were new, I just didn't move on to the modern stuff). As you can imagine, I have acquired a lot of spare parts over the years. I am now retired and its time to move some of it on to someone who can use and benefit from them. I am not expert but have a passion for the restoration of old bicycles. I maintain a FB page for my bike collecting and restoration, bills vintage steel bikes. You can also find pictures there of some of my frame packing.
I have been selling on eBay for over 21 years. I am a retired engineer and pride myself on careful yet efficient packing. My feedback goes back to the beginning, not many sellers can say that. I also buy stuff (like I need more)...
Thanks for looking at my auction,
Bill
