    1991 ABM American (the American American)

    Borrowed from the German forum from someone otherwise very groovy/groove oriented ;), although these decals were original that shiny, the right size seems always a good idea when getting material, Maybe ABM did bigger decalsets though, like other companies today - who knows!

    1991 ABM American (the American American)

    On Mombat, 85,86 lists a tange unicrown fork as original and since "the american" is that model to replace "these montaneus" you dont have to look for a koski unless it turns up reasonable .. exporting to other countries ABM not usually supplied them on other bikes than their breezers "at...

    1991 ABM American (the American American)

    Another, American American with non original tuning fork in forest terrain, pic borrowed from the german forum.. frame changed ownership again since then. @PhillB early A A frames had the short lived Army type font decals which in the eye of the original designer were the obscure NoGo ABM ran...

    1994 American Bicycle Manufacturer M16 build thread

    Cool, only sided note (albeit not drawback) would be tight rear clearance on some earlier m16 models which was also talked about when Norman build up the army ano concept - good that the frame has some serious give, a fatter tire with less side profile may work! 90s green would look different...

    Its a.... Sonic........Helmut Burns-London.

    sure things yep, my cb1 commuter and future touring bike, as of yet never with any slicks as otherwise factory intended ;) My conversion is periodically not a Bridgestone by Grand P. but it predates the large scale hybrid X-line idea and shallow drop/moustache bar wave....

    Its a.... Sonic........Helmut Burns-London.

    ace, just i dont have acces to that in prospect, ... can someone elude us on why people or especially messengers in the 80s (*particularly London?) faved 26" with road tires altogether which makes you think of Hybrids at a time where these were already a thing of their own ? i mean much as...
