What have I just dragged out shed?

[Woz]

That BB is from Slovakia. Found on mid to low end stuff - mid 90s. Tending to agree it's something from the continent.

Miyata had riveted cable guides, it's not one of those, and it is not a Cannondale. Nor a Klein. Sadly there as been so much generic AL stuff churned out it's really difficult to ID things like this. Even if you whip the forks off for an ID on the steering column, it will only point to something fairly generic from Taiwan.

By the way, your shed looks like a Tardis. Much bigger on the inside.

You’ve got me searching now too! I don’t think it’s an early alu O, they don’t have a chainstay stiffener and the cable routing is different. Although the canti bridge looks similar?

 

[Stressed]

Any chance it could be an early Merlin Malt?

Yes it's one of those b@stard BB.....the one you don't have a tool for....well not the right one
Forks are out...nada...no stampings at all!
Steerer is pretty darn thin where the blades attach...again forks are bit porky...scales suggest over 900g !
My shed is outside that's my project ponder room

I don't really know orange....looked and nothing seems similar really...yeah canti bridge...think that's quite a standard bit looks like a section of extrusion.

Maybe 1989-90 Muddy Fox Alu Pro?

I have a 92' and it has 1 1/4 head tube?

'British Eagle'

It was only a suggestion as they were quite well specced but mainly used as parts donors. They came with a Tange Big Fork anyway

I have a very similar farme with no ID too
