1993 Tange Prestige Stumpjumper

SR stands for Sakae Ringyo

I think they were suntour's parent company, and made suntour cranks (and specialized) amongst many others

So i would guess Specialized, but pre-strongarm?

That is odd. Weren't Strongarms made by Sugino? My earlier 'flag' spesh cranks are also Sugino...

Sugino is another satellite company of Sakae Ringyo if memory serves correctly..............

progress is slow.... front canti has been fitted and setup now

now running a full M900 XTR canti setup (big thanks go to mousemat, and miles from bristol bike jumble for lovely free spares). i have dropped the stem somewhat also, which means i now have the lovely "spacers above stem" look going on, and have changed the back wheel for one with a black rim. i got in a temper when i split a tube changing tyres last night though, so it isnt back together at the mo - photos when i put it back together

I do not think they are affiliated at all, although Sugino did make components under the SR (Sugino Royal) label, which further confuses the situation. SR-Sakae did purchase the Suntour after they failed, and the SR-Suntour brand resulted. I think parts are still marketed as Sakae, as well as SR-Suntour.

Sugino is also still around, and is still Sugino, just plain old under-appreciated Sugino.

This probably doesn't help and I'm a retro newbie, but those cranks look exactly like mine on my Kona Cinder Cone '97 - defo Suntour (or whatever they were at the time!) on LX.

I have spare set if needed.

re:

I'm buildin my M2 stumpie FS -93 with an judy SL from 95-96 something. It seems to swallow the little higher Judy without a problem. Geometry seems just fine. I raced an M2 S-works back in the days with an Judy -97 and it also worked fine.

The later carbon fibre Judy FSX would look like a stormer on that steel frame i reckon! but loose that stem...

unfortunately, i never really gelled with this bike, so i'm parting it out

if anyone wants anything, give me a shout with an offer!
