Being "Made in Taiwan" isn't a negative, a lot of nice bike frames from big manufacturers were/are made there. From what I read the very early Kona frames were made there too.

You can add pictures to a post using the "Add an Attachment" button.

Here's a late 1988/early 1989 model but the U-Brake is on the seat stays not under the chainstays: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=217090
