If my memory serves me correctly, that is a 1992 model and that was the alternative colour that year.

I can't see the listing, but as you say if it has double eyelets I'm pretty sure it is not a Karakoram. Does it have an integrated seat clamp? It happens: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/late-1980s-gt-karakoram.329060/

This deserves a good home! I would have been tempted, as I wanted one when I was younger. There's a few smaller bikes that are higher up my list of "to try/own" though and having the loan of a more reent VFR1200 makes me more incline to try some more different alternatives. Good luck with the...

I agree, but in my case I have owned a few in the intervening period. My last bike in the UK before I borrowed the VFR1200 and bought the Hornet 250 was a Honda SL350, but I've owned/ridden a few in Indonesia since then.

What has that rear mech had done to it?

I just spotted this and thought it's an interesting choice of model name

Not quite the same, because that one is double ubrake with the rear on the seat stays (and I guess the Campagnolo is not original) but I imagine it's the version that replaced this one.

Got a few old photos of my Corrado when I still thought it was a Richter 8.0 with some good pylon/substation action:

Hope you recover quickly, Jon. Thanks for sharing the experience.

I used to have a blue SZR. I loved that bike so much - I was tempted to get another now I was set on getting another but decided I should try something new.

I think the first one is later. M02 start could be 2002? Nice Zaskar!

I can't help much with spec for these, as I haven't seen a catalogue from that early or a very original example. The DX rear mech could be original, but I've seen them with all sorts. Probably either DX or XT, but era correct Campagnolo would make a nice build.

If it is, it doesn't match he other 1996 serial formats I have, as hey are all SY# where the # is the year, but it is possible they changed during the year, or had different models made in different places.

I don't reallt have enough data from the later years to confirm the year from the serial. From what I have seen 95-96 serials tend to start SY and 97-98 serials just S, but I don't have any other SAS recorded. Maybe someone else knows more about the Sanfa serials.

Is the second character definitely an A? Usually, the second character is a number. I'm not that well-versed in the later ones though, so that might not always be the case.

I think this is the right size for my FRM cranks. I was going to check, but I'll take it please as a potential upgrade and if it's not right it can go into the large BB collection.
