The bike I want the Suntour Cyclone spindle is one I'm building up with the original groupset it had when new. I do NOT want a cartridge bottom bracket assembly for it.

Our 1986 Cannondale touring bikes came with SunTour Superbe sealed bottom

fine.

But I understand your desire to duplicate the original.
