Interested in the hubs If the split is not that much of a hassle, am interested in the hubs. Would be nice to know how much you would be willing to let them go plus cost of shipping to Manila, Philippines postal code 1012. Thanks.

@mechagouki Yep I noticed that too probably due to the lack of shielding, this is why the bike will probably not see trail action anymore and will serve city riding for my wife. Thanks man! @Elev12k The e-stays are the bomb! That is one classic bike! I wanted to spec-up mine with Tange...

Ooohhh Droooooool, that looks radical. I saw an MC-Comp running around near our place, and that is a nice bike as well! I'm guessing your's was European Market specific?

This is the seat tube - top tube junction. If you notice the stays are welded much like any modern SMAW/TIG weld the main tubes how ever are welded in what Panasonic claimed in its Japanese PR as revolutionary welding technique. Sadly they split like crazy.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I tried looking through the catalogues here when I got the frame. Unfortunately no dice, thankfully, broadening the search lead me to a Japanese blog which had the same bike as above dating it to late 1993 early 1994, I'm sure it was a Japanese Domestic...

I have been a forum member for some time but admittedly been much of a lurker (specially at the For Sale section). The wealth of knowledge and friends I have come across through this site is priceless so thank you for that. I decided to make my first bike post about a project build that I...

Great Job That looks :shock: WICKED! gotta love what a little creativity can do to give new life to something.

Looks like you chaps had an awesome time, heard about this ride from Ed Edwards during his visit here in the Philippine Islands and from the pictures alone I know that the organizers did a great job. Again congratulations to the organizers for a great ride. I do hope to ride the Forest of...

Yep, In my catalogs they are branded as Scott-Mathauser Hyrdalic Rim Brakes made by IBC.

Re: Hmmm hmm these may be SRPs indeed, if so i stand corrected. :)

I agree! sometimes you just got to take the plunge! Woooheeeee!

You are very much welcome! I have an old mountain bike action parts special which have these brakes featured. Would be very interested in these but i don't know how much it would cost to have them shipped half way across the world to Manila but in case please count me in sir! :D

Hmmm Gravity Research, Pipe Dreams these are.

you can get a reducer headset as mentioned like the chris king devolution or the cane creek s-series likewise you can have you own spacers fabricated that will allow you to use a 1" headset.

This might help http://sheldonbrown.com/seatpost-sizes.html Cheers.

@rumpfy, thanks sorry if I mis interpreted, I will take better pictures with my digital camera over the weekend, sent it out to be primed, and prepped for painting. More and more I am convinced that this frame is a Toyo, thanks to input from you guys I did some visual search through Toyo...

@rumpfy I hope you don't mind if I post in multiple forums particularly because I am trying to get as much input as I could on this frame, and while mtbr has a retro/vintage bike forum, I have been able to get a lot of info from retrobike before that was just not covered in mtbr. This is I...

Hi Guys, am a newbie in the forums but I have been mtbiking for quite sometime already, I recently acquired a great steel/chomoly mtb frame from a good friend and wanted to ask your expert opinion in trying to determine its make and model. I have included a couple of pics and descriptions here...

considering it is at the binder area, not a good idea to repair, subjecting it to further heat or other forms of bonding may weaken the area.
