Repainted with a decal set sourced on the internet probably. The lugs are aluminium. The forks and rear triangle are steel. Tubing in front triangle is aluminium or carbon.

Spankyfart Marin Fan Apr 16, 2023 #8 Yeah saw your thread later, fancy bike. Also saw you own(ed) Miyata Big Champ fork in a really old thread. Still have it?
