Even if some are being recalled, so what? Every car maker has recalls, even top notch brands like Porsche. Doesn't mean that they build crap, only that they make mistakes, just like everyone else, and that they are owning up to them and fixing them. My first road bike was a 1988 Fuji ACE, full Suntour, all (and I do mean all) Jet Black. I sold it to a friend who is a bike messenger when I bought my Bianchi in 96, and as far as I know, he is still riding it.
