The Cyclone series SunTours are my favorites, although I concur that the good old V-Luxe and its wide-range cousin, the V-GT Luxe, work extremely well. The SL and the Spirt fronts are interesting, if you like a normal-high shift pattern (both front and rear levers back = low gear; both forward = high gear).
