Yes, it’s one off my Unicorn. I’m happy to find this frame :D
Second difficult, Syncros components first models and parts same as catalog...

When I received the frame, it was missing the shim.
I machined one and enjoy putting a titanium screw with an aluminum nut ...

Catalog specifications ...

I'm thinking of mounting Grip Shift as Rocky Mountain liked in 1990.
I found a strange model on an old Fat Chance Wicked.
One part is broken, I machined a new in brass.

1991 catalog link : http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/4 ... tain91.pdf

:lol: easy ID given the drop out design with that particular machined finish on it, plus the serial number stamp. ;)

congrats! so guess the prev person who bought the complete bike parted it all out.

good job at sorting out the needed seat tube shim. if you need replacement decals for the frame, let me know. ;)
