More data to add here: I just (as in, on Sunday, good timing!) bought an Everton, from the same era, in Chicago, of all places. Here are some photos.
Blaze orange/red fade paint job, "TOUR DE FRANCE" visible on the downtube, as if decals had been removed or there's paint under the orange. Steel tubing, according to a decal on the seatpost, something like 'Hi tensile 250* steel', where the * indicates a portion of scratched off decal. Any ideas?
Mine also had Suntour in back: a Cyclone 7000 RD.





Google searching this brand is nearly impossible. It's been through several buy-outs, and frames from this era don't appear to have much of an internet footprint. The serial format was most helpful. Mine also starts with W EE, indicating an imported frame for manufacture through Everton. Mine is followed by an M, likely indicating 1996.
