1994 Suntour ErgoTec Shifter experience?

[Gtpulse]

Looking forward to the pics.

I'm now myself in search of a pair of Ergotecs, nothing to be found on eBay or anywhere else. If someone wants to sell or knows about someone, please ping me here.

In the meantime, I found a set of MicroDrive branded 8s Twist Shifters. Same indexing mechanism, heaps and bounds better than anything SRAM made in the 90s.

Knew I’d seen some somewhere ages ago, took me a while to track them down again.

$400 ouch or is that a good price for something so rare?! They’ve been on there at least a few years so could be worth contacting Michael to see if there is any movement on price.

Edit just realised it’s not these you are after sorry! I’ll leave the post there as it has the original Suntour leaflet in it.

I paid much less for mine

Yes, It's Ergotecs I'm after. Thanks for the link anyway, another resource I didn't know about.

Here's a pic of the pair I just bought from eBay. Yeah, $400 would've been a VERY hard No for me lol. Screw exclusivity, I'd rather find, rebuild and run Campy Bullet shifters, also 8 speed capable. That actually was my plan; to piece together Campy'd Off Road components from Euclid massive U-brake for the rear to Record OR for their gorgeous polished cantilevers on the front. And a Record OR crankset, long cage RD and whatever FD that I can find from them. But I finally caved and bought the Ergotec, I admit that I was quite taken with the concept and from what I read about them I'm surely not going to be disappointed.

Oh the Record OR... That would be my next project but prices are just too steep.
