I'm really impressed with the Sensah brifters. It was a money choice, to be honest, having mangled a set of Sora ones, but they are...

Puts me in mind of a later Peugeot, they made a load of different SLX frames, and by that time they'd ditched the crazy french threading...

That thing is sweet! How's the Sensah doing? I've been interested in it since Shimano announced it's Cues system and effectively made...

As promised, here she is, finally built up. Sora/Sensah 9spd (165mm Cranks) group Vision Team 35 wheelset 38cm Deda Bars...

Since it's probably a Ishiwatta frameset, I'd look at Miyata bike's. Ishiwatta was Miyata's house brand of tubing. Maybe it's a 700 or...

Helical ridges and 26.8 seat tube diameter??? That should be 27.2 diameter seat tubing if it's SLX. They never made SLX with anything...

Ok, it has arrived, and the geometry is as stated (see pic below). It's is an English threaded BB. It's got the helical ridges (super...

Ahhh ok. This makes sense. Thank you! Omg. This makes things harder still 😅

Everest is (was?) a Taiwanese framebuilding components manufacturer. Their investment cast lugs, dropouts etc. are still available to buy.
