I bought a new Sutton at GEMCO in Southern California in 1976. I was surprised by the equipment as I had already ridden a Nishiki Custom Sport from LA to SF and found it heavy. This bike was so much lighter, better & faster. No price on it so the manager gave it to me for $100. Dropped it off at Redondo Cyclery where they repacked the bottom bracket and made all the fine adjustments. Rode it to Sequoia & Yosemite the following spring. I ride a Specialized Sequoia now but still take this one out occasionally.
