These never shifted quite as well as the Suntour V series (few things did) but I have gained a new appreciation of them and will fit them to bicycles we rehab at the co-op as they are so much better than their later clones.

You could add the Titlist to the under-rated list... it is a Shimano Crane with steel cage plates and the lower cost and high production numbers that make them rather inexpensive can make you feel better about it shifting just as well as the more expensive Crane... which also does not shift as well as a Suntour V series.
