The Invitation for Cycling by Mr.Gami

Part 97: Suntour in 1989




I introduce the catalog of Suntour of 1989 at Part 97.
The top athlete Steve Bauer of the professional team SMM/LA SUISSE which is sponsored by Suntour appeared on the front cover.
Suntour would get caught in the management crisis from about 1990. Though technology of Suntour had a good reputation in the market,Shimano was in advantage at the total performance as a company. Suntour got to the end as SR Suntour in around 1994 after accepted an equity participation from Mori industory in 1991.
You can find a trace of the consolidation of group parts and following Shimano through this catalog. I suppose that the peak of Suntour might be in 1988-1990.

I show each page below. However I didn't put my comment. The letters in the catalog might be too small. So I prepared E-book. You can turn each page as real catalog, and zoom it. URL is below.
Note: advertisement which doesn't relate to the catalog would appear because I use free service.
