1991 American Classic M-16

Re: Re:

May not be appropriate to this thread, but what's the difference between this and a Comp Lite?

M16 has 16" chainstays

CompLite has 16.5" stays

Angles should be the same otherwise.

All american frames were available in any of about 8 annodized colours.

Looks fine as it is to me. Probably not as prone to cracking as some boutique brands so loved on here!

EDIT: might be a touch biased as I just bought one!!

If anyone here is interested in this bike before it goes to auction let me know.

We will be keeping the parts and selling the frameset.

Awesome bike outside of those rivets. They sucked. Trust me.

Great rider. Dig the earlier models look with the down tube cable guides like this one but then that is just me.

Great find.

Americans were 6061 and don't suffer with the cracking issues other bikes from the era have.

Ride one for a while and eat your words.
