Better watch out for their great brakes. http://www.bikepro.com/products/brakes/brakecanti/crystald.html They had nice cantilevers and pretty iconic brake levers too This is a blue set I do own Later even a few fancy V-Brakes

this is a titan-finish, sometimes also called "titanized" frame, CroMoly with nickelplating, no paint, but maybe still a clear lacquer. Something which is impossible to do at home, not even companies can do this easily, because of environmental rules nowadays. So indeed a bit of a challenge...

The cut outs are just to fit more easily to different crank sets. The Crystal Design chain ring guard came in different variants, also for compact and standard BCD. This is from 1997: And here is an advert, already from 1992, showing also one with out any cut outs at all:

Hard to say, just my gut feeling, it's a LX550, by the general design and the used plastic cap. Rings should be aluminum.

A pretty similar one was offered by Crystal Design. That's the Rock Ring as mentioned above by @DesertRyder Source of the picture and available in NOS here https://www.mtb-kult.de/Crystal-Design-Rockring-cnc-gefraesst-Compact-Lochkreis-94mm-fuer-42-Zaehne-made-in-USA-schwarz-NEU

wow, this is a bit of an rare Razorback HT, most only re-call the iconic full suspension Razorback (with pull-shock licensed from Turner). This came 1999 and initially still with Noleen (earlier Girvin) Crosslink fork. But the frame was at this time already with IS disc mount, just not the...

sorry for replying once more to this interesting ride. Just Paul Brodies cruiser with shaft drive came to my mind last night and I have to share this here too. His result as shown at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show (2017, if I'm not mistaken)...

hey, this looks really cool, although my personal experience using a shaft drive bike wasn't great. This is obviously not an SE Racing BMX cruiser, nor has an landing gear fork. It looks like someone has used just this sticker set...

Scott bought them in 1994, mostly because of their Snowboard business, and changed the name than to just "Hooger", but stopped the brand not long time after.

lovely, now it's ready for the botm contest

I do love the colors! But sure, too late to motivate you, this advert is from 1991, have a good flight!

I had a Biomega Copenhagen, bought roughly 2005 and used as urban bike and commuter for a few years. I loved the design, and clean style, also the fluorescent lacquer, but I start to hate the shaft drive. I only have dismounted the rear wheel once, it was a major challenge and took me a lot...

@Obi-Juan this is nice too, a 1993 model as I didn't come across of an 93er brochure yet, let me share two pages of an German buyers guide They didn't come at this time with an suspension fork, but the year later, 1994, when Kästle changed the naming of the bike series from Radonnee to...

sorry, a bit late, but why not doing this just like it was Middle for the rear derailleur, right for the front mech, left for the brake (which goes round the headtube from the right to the left side in the front, while the other both are on the right side of the headtube).

Hi, nice bike, I do like this Randonee series. No clue about seatpost size, but originally it came with a black post. Please find below some pictures of a brochure, released end of 1990. Sorry for the bad quality, unfortunately I have nothing better.
