Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Tune Componentry

Are their products as good as they look? If so does anyone know a good place to buy Tune stuff? I've only been able to find a couple of places online and their stuff seems to rarely show up on eBay.




I admit I'm just enamored by the bling factor but I don't want to go near the stuff if they don't hold up in the performance factor as well.

I doubt that any of us have experience with those... You should go out and be the first!

Yes it is as good as it looks and you will be very happy with it.
The best go to guys for all the high end euro goodies are www.fairwheelbikes.com they deal a ton with ax, tune, extralight, schmolke, btp and all the zoomy stuff.

I really like that stuff, but $$$. Try the weightweenies.starbike.com forum. You will find plenty of people using tune components.
