'88 BOTE? Nope, Cycletech with Suntour.

Not sure what I'm looking at.



This came closest I could find.

They are both 26"24", and the rear dropout looks the same.
Although on the first picture it's a little crude.

Pretty bike, it's clearly never my size but had to be rescued.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it, it has some nice Suntour bits on it so most likely part it out as frameset.
We'll see.

Seemingly new Araya RM25

That's gorgeous! Great colourway and I love Suntour XCD6000!

Not your size? That head tube is HUGE!!!

Carbon bars too???

It is a pretty bike, I'll probably do a deep clean, rewire and then sell it for 5 thousand freedom dollars to @MattiThundrrr

I think I recall that paintscheme from a local classified site. Nice to see it up close now. Interesting bike. I doubt whether 'Tech' had anything to do with Cycletch.

Hang on a miniute....

That Cannondale is an orignal Beast of the East, I think.

Are those Suntour or WTB roller cam brakes?

Either way, they are a bit unicorn. Rather special and sought after. Shame that is a reference photo than a bike which you have in your hand....

They are deore XT

oh well
