1992 Asama Alpha Ti bike resto

[Coquitlam Geoff]

thought i'd share this one, a 92 (I believe) Asama Alpha, resto mod project
Built by a local bike guru, it's a blend of XT and DX everything either meticulously overhauled or NOS quality parts
Found a set of Mavic 231's lace to XT hubs 730/732 and added some Magic Smoke tires
decently light and a nice trail rider
nothing special about the Asama Alpha but it's Sandvik
happy holidays

Cool, never heard of this model, you sure it's a '92 with that u-brake?

 

[Coquitlam Geoff]

it's a resto so the xt intake was added on
could be a 91, Asama would sometimes copy frame design eg wishbone seat stays on this one

GT was still fitting U-brakes to their entire range in 1992…

The Blackbird sticker is a nice touch

Apart from being a nicely made frame, it had its time in the spotlight



I like your version more. There is such a thing as too much Syncros IMO.

Where is the 'Report a witch' button when you need it?
