Suntour is/was sort of like the 'Olympus' of bicycle componentry. There was
a time when they made very high quality, high end componentry. It never
received quite the recognition that Shimano did, partly because of
marketing, and partly (here is where the analogy breaks down a bit) because
it didn't seem to be as aggressively innovative as Shimano. At some point
they appear to have conceded the top of the line market to Shimano &
Campagnolo.
It was almost always an excellent value, though.
