Reminds me Hooger Booger Patrol with similar feature - not really sure if there were more trial bikes like that? https://fotos.mtb-news.de/p/2574896

Haha been bikepacking with people who eventually just leaned their custom made steel modern gravel bikes against a tree for the night and were like "it will probably wake us if anyone walks around". I personally carry u-lock everywhere, but also, I use racks and all my camping gear is heavy...

Cantilever hanger reminds me of my MS Racing (which is actually the glued Alu/Crmo), but didn't find exact frame matching yours.

That is actually a wanted ad, and yep, Kleinanzeigen, which is the Gumtree-like site. It always confused me, when it was called ebay-kleinanzeigen! .)

RM20 or RM25? Catalogues are online, I always thought the RM ones are rather nice, nicer than CV 7 and such, but not really sure where I got it from.) https://www.oldschoolracing.ch/archiv/araya/ https://web.archive.org/web/20190629122659/https://www.araya-kk.co.jp/rim/catalog.html

Been commuting on this lately, first half of 90s, not sure about exact year.

(Sorry for thread hijack) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/work-bikes.2519/post-3416673 The trailer there is Donkey Trailers, cheaper than Surly (or bigger for the same price), still feels nothing special and thought it might be easier to just DIY make it. Not pleasant to ride if loaded more...

Ooh, right, now I get it - my mind somehow excluded this option as very unlikely at first.)

Love this, the detailed pictures are awesome. Just not sure about the BB, the difference between ITA and BSA BB is not only the width of the cage, but also different diameter of the cups and different side threading on the drive side, so the BB is probably BSA standard (even though Campagnolo)...

Apart from paint and decals, it quite reminds me of Scott, the Windriver and Boulder models from 1990. This one, I mean: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1990-scott-windriver-18.250654/

I like the colour, but as Matttymm said, parts are (mostly) <1993, decals are later version, and the colour doesn't match. Would just point out that it might be good to check if the frame is OK, the angle of the fork in the first picture doesn't look right to me. It quite likely might be the...

I'll just leave this here, trailer is not mine and is super useful, though could use more stable bike than my work bike for this.

Park Tool BBT-4? It could be same as tool for sealed sq Campagnolo BBs, so good idea with the LBSs - they should have it. Or the tool, is not expensive, just make sure it really fits, I'm not sure.

From what I've tried, it was that road shifters had less pull than mtb mechs, so the case of Deore shifters with road FD should be fine, unlike road STIs with mtb FD - it just doesn't reach the outer ring, doesn't pull the cable enough to make it. Anyway, have tried several times, and the safe...

... and it is supposed to be quite close to the chainstays, the marks on them shouldn't be from cranks, but shoes - at least on my 1992, it is. Anyway, to see whether it is BSA or not, you can meassure it without dismantling (and yes, it is BSA). And the length of the BB depends on used...
