Thank you! Here's another good example (raw)

That looks almost identical.. I found another example

I have what appears to be one of these KGB Cycles Mig frames, however mine only weighs 2lbs 14oz!! I was told Caloi (Brazil) had them painted for a USA mountainbike racing team in the mid 90s, but who really knows. It's for 1-1/8" headset, 70mm Italian bottom bracket, 135mm spacing. Can anyone...

Thanks for the info. To be clear.. it looks nothing like a Litespeed. I'm just assuming the client (Caloi) gave there build specs to the manufacturer. Someone on another group mentioned they thought it could be russian made. I'm not familiar with any of the russian frames. If you can find an...

My understanding is the Brazilian brand Caloi contracted a US manufacturer to build titanium frames for their USA mountain bike racing team in the mid 90s. The unused frames were sold off to US distributors. Some speculate Litespeed may have manufactured the frames for Caloi but I have found no...

UPDATE: Frame is 100% not steel, did magnet test, weighs in at just under 2lb 14oz. 1-1/8" headtube. BB shell is 70mm and appears to be Italian threaded. Seatpost size is approximately 29mm

Did the magnet test, it's not steel 2lb14oz

Ok.. got an update. Being told that it was possibly built by Litespeed for Caloi (Brazil) USA racing Team in early 90s. All the braze-on's match, as do the drop-outs. Was told it might be 1-1/4" head tube, will confirm tomorrow.

Need help ID'n this frame... no serial markings or badge. Has titanium decal, but welds looks like steel. Need to magnet test.

Can anyone ID this Raleigh, it looks like a 93-94 MTI 1000 (Tomac) but the rear dropouts have cutout windows, I don't see any other similar examples found online. Can't seem to find match on the decals either. I think maybe 1996? Serial # F10283

V-brake wasn't around until 1996? But I do know the canti guide/stop is removable, you cannot remove it on 3/4/EFC, it's part of the arch. Also, the Magnum and Comp do not have the same Made in USA placard featured on the Manitou 3/4/EFC

That's what i first assumed, but the arch is recessed at the 4 entry bolt holes only on one side, so that they sit flushed. And all photos of 1995 Comp and Magnum show the cnc cuts on the outside. I have no idea what they were going for.

I was curious.. does the 1994 Hei Hei have different size tubing than the 1993? I noticed 1994 catalog mentions oversize something.. Also.. what size front derailleur clamp does a 1994 Hei Hei take? I know 1993 is 31.8

Hi all, as mentioned in title. I have a Manitou Comp fork (1995). I tried installing BR-M900 and the cantilevers rub against the brake arch. I then tried WTB Speedmasters and had the same problem. Now, I installed some Paul 'Stoplights" and these have no issue. The M900 appear too "low...
