Silver,Red,Gold,Blue Anodised.... and poorly at that.

Considering these stems were made by Suntour for Redline you would have thought they would be better quality. Suntours coloured anodising was shockingly poor in the early 80's.
From their pedal cages to seatclamps & chainrings, just a few months in the hot Californian sun would see the bright anno fade...

Classics are the red parts.... largely discarded by kids back then for turning a Pink fade very quickly! ;D
