Re:

I have the 1 of 1 Hotta MTB, road bike wise I have a MK1 Colnago C40 with English threads in the bb, apparently it was never made with English threads

Shimono: that sounds more like a single pulley mech you got there..

Funny! Thanks for the typo heads up! I added a photo to the original post, as well. Cheers!

Just for the record, that 3 wheel derailleur is a Suntour (XC), not Shimano.
That just makes it even more cool IMHO.


And there's also ARX and LePree versions knocking around:




All the best,

 

[Gotobikeguy]

Cool, you are correct Sir. I either need my eyes checked, or to take a better look at all my old stuff. Mine doesn't have the Suntour XC logo, but does have small Suntour on the pulleys. Maybe it just scratched off completely.

 

[danson67]

Yes, the Suntour logo is just screen printed on, so scrapes/wipes/falls off at the slightest provocation.

All the best,

Like Boxxer and his TLD obsession, I'm completely obsessed with Hope
I rode their brakes from C2's and ,i think its just a trust thing
