I dont care that you had an Emmelle as your 1st, 3rd or 15th bike - that is not the point of this thread.

This is a Japanese/ American/ Taiwanese built triple butted fillet brazed (by a nutter/ American) frame and fork, it needs to be celebrated for what it is, not the badge

Moore & Large imported these in a rush to get into the MTB market - sound familiar? Look at Tushingham, Muddy Fox, Claud Butler, etc. Plenty of brand names were plastered onto existing products at the time.

So unless you want a punch in the dick, carry on

The more interesting / concerning question is: Just what is in those fillets? Brass? Bras? The powdered bones of disciplinary actions?
