Thoughts on this?

Joe Murray 'design' so 'Kona' feel - but iirc just regular Tange DB - so not particularly special(?)

(Bizango were Tange superlight )​

Had a chat with the seller - seems to think that no frame number equates to a handmade early frame made in Chico. I've read that some very early ones were made by Mountain Goat, but still, no frame number, initials etc?

ask him what the original colour was. That will help date it. The triple tt cable routing and the cantilever cable guide suggest it could be this version:

Purple underneath - which puts it at '96, like the post you linked.

My point is that even if it was 'handmade' in the states as opposed to Taiwan it would surely have a frame number?
