The flattened seatstays and indented seat tube for a short wheel base are fairly distinctive. The rear brake cable stops look fairly basic compared to the rest of the frame fixtures, but its clearly a well put-together frame. I would expect some pantographing some where if it was a Chesini, even...

Kinda wish I’d held onto that, so cool!

Yeah, but no, I don't get it.

1" or 1 ⅛" steerer, threaded or un-threaded, what is the head tube length, any preference on colour? We need more details!

Really cool GLWS.

The road bike in their other items is pretty cool, weirdly they call that a Muddy Fox too, even though it doesn't say it on it anywhere - definitely Araya made!

Looks like the road stem was available in 26.0 and 26.4, HOWEVER they were single bolt at the front whereas the MTB one was double bolt.

Made by Araya in Japan, no?

Its not quite right, is it, the other option would be for a rack, but the frame isn’t that small, and it already has eyelets at the top of the seatstays!

There was a road version IIRC - so probably 26.0?

Lamp boss on the fork? And a Hite Rite boss on the seat lug? Its a funny one for sure.

How would you repair it, out of curiosity.

Thank you.

Same rear mech, three cage lengths by 1992, only one model though. As above the chainset (and hence BB also), front mech, freehub and cassette were different.
