Rob, That's a pretty good looking finish.
As he puts it “the market is too race-centric; carbon fiber, electric shifting, full suspension, 11 speed, doesn’t really enhance the enjoyment of cycling. In the 1970’s and 80’s we cycled to be closer to nature, for the environment, for our health, for the simple beauty of cycling.” So Suntour see's the niche market and figures to re-enter good thing many of you persevered on the fringe. I second the notion more choices are good and the stated philosophy of getting out in nature is a valued concept. I for one went from Mountain biking to road and recently discovered the wide open freedom of mixed terrain. If a company makes good quality reasonably priced products that allow me to ride with infrequent breakdowns Hallelujah.
