 +===== 1984 Alpina Pro  =====
 +
 +This example may be a 1983, as the components match the 1983 [[https://univegacatalogs.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/page8.jpg?w=4000&h|catalog]].  Except that our 1983 has an old SuperBe Tech L, a fatally flawed derailleur, which was period correct.  This example has a SunTour MounTech GTL (1982-1983).

 +===== 1985 Alpina Ultima  =====
 +
 +This has an unusual SunTour SuperBe Tech rear derailleur, possibly with a MounTech GTL cage.  Maybe to give it extra chain wrap capacity?  The SuperBe Tech was out of production by 1985, having failed in the market.  (("The 1983 SunTour SuperBe Tech looked gorgeous...  After a year or so, the pivots would be worn out and the shifting got sloppy, but they could not be rebuilt." --[[https://www.cyclepublishing.com/cyclingbooks/dc.html|The Dancing Chain]], Frank Berto, page 270))
