As we all know, I'm a big fan of the Japanese bicycle industry... I find their bikes just as good (if not better on some levels) as comparable class Italian bikes, and I've ALWAYS thought that Suntour made a better der.'s than Campagnolo (an opinion that's proven true every time I compare the two products)... so cast my vote for the monster-plagued Land of The Rising Sun as being the place for the better bicycle bits!

> Sun Tour every time over Campag have raced and toured on them since the early 70's on everything from a tandem trike to a hack. Andrews is right there brilliant, for ten years I rode anything from 5000 to 15000 miles a year, these gears really took some punishment, couldn't fault them.
