Re: Re:
Doesn't look like any that I've seen. I think it's a repaint of an 80's bike with some 1988 MF decals. My thoughts for this are lugs were present up until 1987 and the 88 range went lugless and mostly U-braked (most stuff in 87 from Explorer up was u-braked at the rear), so for 87 it would be Courier or lower. The seatstay tops have a taper that's too short to be a courier and the top tube cable guides do match either. It's not a BSO though, well at least I don't think it is as the lugs are fairly ornate, it has forged dropouts and double bottle bosses. I reckon it could be a brit bike (due to lugged construction), maybe an 80's CB, Holdsworth, Falcon or BE, not a Raleigh though as the details are wrong.
Could be totally off though.
