Re: MT racing, brand

MT Racing was a mostly BMX brand from Taiwan but in late 80 and early 90 they also maded few MTBikes/frames
They started in late 70 or early 80 as I remember

Tange Decal would mark it out as pre '90 as they changed style for the 1990 model year. It does look very Muddyfox/Orange and could well have come from the same factory, with the cable routing changed to be top tube run.

I think You couldn't look for similar details to other brands, because it could be just copied from them
Mine fex is having dropouts similar to Yeti, Mongoosebut IMO that's mean nothing yet

I know a bit of time had passed but I just came across your post. I just bought a frame like yours and picked up a restoration project on it. Do you have any pictures of the finished bike? Cheers!

Didnt MT become Alpinestars or was at least in some way connected?

That was MS Racing (Mike Smith Racing) that then became Alpinestars…
