I have bought a old mtb with no decals or identity markings and as yet have not got photo's to help identify it. Consequently I'm trying to date it by components so here is the list of whats fitted :
Sakae non compact chainset with oval chain rings.
Shimano Altus front and rear deraliers.
Shimano freehub rear wheel with narrow axle body and 7spd cassette.
SACHS/SRAM ? Gripshifts
Welgo plastic pedals
Steel seat post
Shimano Cantilever brakes
Cup and Cone B/B
Sakae alloy stem
Shimano quick release hubs.
What look like Rigida alloy rims.
1" threaded headset of unknown make.
The frame is lugged steel with gear hanger and short horizontal dropouts, canti brake hanger, gear cable tunnels under the B/B, Forks are unicrown and look newer.
Geometry is non suspension corrected and quite relaxed angles/
My guess is early 90's can anyone else offer an opinion, also possibly due to the frame lugs I think its British, does this seem reasonable !
thanks for any help and opinions you can offer.
Cheers
