Don't know what it stands for, but it's a Japanese company. A lot of dumpstered 80's Japanese roadbikes have the components.

Sakae Ringyo. A friend has one. Seems like a nice frame for the money he paid for it.

I think SR now owns the SunTour name, but that's it. I think I read that all of the tooling for those badass hubs was scrapped when Suntour closed up shop.

Rode one for 22 years
I rode an SR Maxima for 22 years. It was the top of the line SR bike in 1984. It came with SunTour Superbe components. I finally retired it this year. I got a new Cannondale 613 with campy record components and campy zonda wheels. WOW what a difference. To read the history of SunTour go to:
