nice but "a little bit of exaggeration"...
tune is nothing of that superb, great, fabulous stuff, they're talking about there. tune is just extremely overprized cnc-stuff without the typical cnc-look. not the lightest, not the strongest, not the best designed and not the best-finished.

for example in german bike shops and boards there is a saying "tune is nice [...] but don't buy anything with moving parts from them!" as really really lots of people had problems with tune hubs and BBs developing play, having play right from the beginning and/or creaking. or have a closer look at the allum clamp-parts of a tune post, not so nice... don't get me wrong - i have also some tune components on my bike(s) wich more or less satisfy me but there is no reason to be sooo fu**in' enhtusiastic about tune stuff like that (advertisment-)article.

and to come to an end now, the best tune ever produced are their skewers/fasteners. for the rest you can get cheaper, lighter, stronger, better-looking...
