As a fan of SunTour's products, their story is of great interest. Our friend, Paul Brodek, who passed away earlier this year, used to work with SunTour and told some fascinating stories of how they ran their business, especially in the later years. The late Frank Berto, a bike tech guru for decades, wrote up a wonderful history of SunTour for the Rivendell Reader that reviewed the rise and fall of SunTour. I was wondering if I should include it with this article, and this is a good enough reason to include part of it. Since Hilary's article covered the evolution of the slant pantograph, I figure it's okay to include the portion of Mr. Berto's article about SunTour's rise.

These are the first handful of pages of Frank Berto's "Sunset for SunTour", published in Rivendell Reader #14.
