Bumped into these.

That groupset is the same they manufactured back in the day, right? At least it looks fucking archaic.

Any idea if the components are any good?

Sunrace stuff is good. That "archaic" stuff has to meet a very low price point, and will probably only end up on cheap OTP's for foringers. They make cassettes as good as the basic shimano ones, and they also manufacture all the sturmey archer stuff to a much better standard than SA used to.

They even make suicide levers

Okay. And it seems at least bikeradar.com agrees with you.

Just wondering if that "new old" stuff is available somewhere. Tried their store, but at least they were not selling R03 stuff.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
