To me, it’s amazing they produced those good bikes as the company was in the last stages of being mismanaged into the ground. As anyone knows who’s been through the experience of working for a company that’s circling the drain and then gets acquired, it’s not easy to do your best work in those circumstances. I have similar admiration for the people who worked for SunTour at the end of their heyday.
