Hi guys.
I'm hoping that somebody may be able to offer some educated guesses as to the original manufacturer of a bike I have recently bought. The bike is pretty light so I'd guess it is made from some decent tube - but there are no marks or labels anywhere. The rear dropouts are forged suntour jobbies though.
It is a real mishmash of parts, so I will probably break it as parts to sell on ebay (just being open & honest here ) UNLESS there is a good reason to keep the bike in one piece that anyone can come up with.
Road bikes aren't my thing really, and being less than 6 feet tall - this bike really isn't for me
I digress.
In case it may help anyone identify this - here is a list of some parts on the bike:
Brakes: Weinman 605
Front mech: Shimano 600 band-on type
Rear mech: Shimano Altus 45
Chainset: SR Sakae
Hubs: Shimano - unknown model
Rims: Rigida
Pedals: Miche quills with Christophe clips
Handlebars, stem, unknown. Seat, seat-pin, and seat clamp bolt all fairly modern & non-original.
Any info or break it / don't break it views appreciated.
Cheers
