Suntour Superbe Pro Rear Derailleur Exploded Diagram

In response to a valued blog reader's inquiry as to the year of his red 80's Specialized Allez SE frame, I went ahead and did a little research to see if I could help out.
A while back, I posted some pics of a similar '85 Allez SE that I sold. The year was an educated guess based on 1) The scan above from my 1985 Suntour Service Manual and 2) American Flyers was released in 1985 and I figured Specialized would've provided them with their latest model.
Since I have another red Allez of the same era that's waiting a restoration job from me with what I believe to be the original components, I went digging for some date codes. The easiest one to find was off the rear derailleur (BD), which the excellent resources at vintage-trek.com dates to 1985!
Now, a few disclaimers here. Although I'm still pretty sure these red Allez's 1985 models, I have seen examples where component date codes precede the model year of the bike. For example, my 1987 Allez's Turbo saddle has an 86 date stamped on it (although I believe the original Sprint derailleur is dated to 1987.) It's certainly possible I have a 1986 model but I have no information to confirm nor deny that these red Allez's were still being produced that year. By the same token, perhaps someone out there has an example with 1984 date codes on them. Dunno... makes my head spin just thinking about it... I'm just going to refer to these Allez's as 1985's!

Exploded Shimano parts diagrams for a 1987 Rockhopper

I remember 1987 as a real turning point for mountain biking. Sure, they'd been introduced years earlier, but by the time 1987 rolled around, all the major bike manufacturers vastly expanded their selection of MTBs (or ATBs as they were sometimes called back then). Couple that with ads and articles of John Tomac and Ned Overend starting to outnumber those of Greg Lemond or European pros and you couldn't ignore the ATB market even if you wanted to.
Specialized was one of the granddaddys of mass-market, mass-appeal ATBs and their 1987 lineup doubled their previous year's offerings. In addition to the venerable Rockhopper and Stumpjumper, they introduced the StreetStomper, a 'light duty' ATB meant for folks who liked the upright riding style but were sticking mainly to paved roads, and the HardRock, which essentially lowered the price of admission to the ATB game if you couldn't afford a Rockhopper. There was also a fifth offering, the Stumpjumper Team that was arguably one of the best money could buy at the time.
Anyway, a couple months back, a valued blog reader hooked up yours truly with a scanned copy of the entire 1987 Specialized catalog (Thanks, Greg!). As a show of gratitude, I sent him the exploded diagrams for all the Shimano components on his 1987 Rockhopper, posted below for your browsing pleasure.

Suntour Superbe Pro Pedals

Here's a few scans from my 1985 Suntour shop manual. You may or may not find the information useful in your restoration (good luck finding those parts!), but it's interesting nonetheless.
I have a pair of these I purchased cheap at a bike swap. They were rusty, tarnished, and all around thrashed, but I shined 'em up and they look awesome. I know these pedals are highly treasured and command top dollar on ripmeBay whenever they show up.
Enjoy some vintage Suntour goodness. I'll post some more vintage Suntour and Shimano exploded diagrams in upcoming blogs. And of course, requests from valued blog readers are also welcome.

Shimano Sante Exploded Diagrams

For all you Shimano Sante nuts out there, here's a couple exploded diagrams (RD-5000 and BR-5000) from my shop manual. Probably the best use for these is if you're like me and immediately forget what went where like 30 secs after you disassemble something.
The other interesting thing about these diagrams is if you compare a Sante part with the other models, you'll find Sante has unique parts not found in other components showing Sante was truly a new group from the ground up (disproving claims that Sante was merely 'painted 600/Ultegra'.)
