Info for early 90s sun levanter rims

[Retro junkie]

As per title, recently bought a 1991 diamond back ascent ex.
The wheels on it I've never heard of..
Sun levanter made in USA !
Have done a few searches but only comes up with vintage bmx wheels
Just wondered if anyone has any and how do you rate them

Re:

Pretty much as Ant says, mid range but nice looking wheels.

Out of interest are they labelled Levanter? Most of these were labelled as Avenir Duro 17 which was Diamond Backs parts arm, exactly the same rim though (no doubt there's a few other Avenir branded bits on the bike).

I love the 1991 range, it was the first catalogue I lusted over! Get some pictures of the bike up when you can

Re:

Thanks for the info chaps, the rims are labled as levanter but who can claim to make them is it sun or avenir. I do have a pair of the avenir duro 17's on my cannondale m 800 but they were originally on a db axis I have (the midnight blue one)!
The levanter ones are almost as new with very little wear on the rims where the avenir ones have seen a lot of use but they have xt hubs not exage like the levanter.
The bike does have a bit of other avenir stuff like the avenir gel seat and the bars. It also still has a tioga wonder dawg tyre that is original and in good condition as well as the diamond back grips that look original
