[RBW] FS - Suntour Command Shifters

I've pulled 4 Shimano 110 BCD Biopace rings from the parts bin and cleaned them up for you die-hards. (Two) 46T; one, a Biopace-HP; one a Biopace II; a 36T middle; a 26T inner. All used and in good condition, except for the middle ring, which has shark-teeth and not likely good to go.
