Ok Jim and PaGuy are both right LOL

The original Sage lines were made by SA, with Jerry working with Bruce. like the Quiet Taper/Performance Taper etc.
I loved the original performance taper on my XP

Then Sage's parent bought Rio 12 months ago and the NEW '06-07 Sage lines are being made by RIO. Wasn't a lot of fanfare about the transition. But if your checking the new lines are designated II ie Performance Taper II

The original lines should be on sale
