This is a very cool piece of MTB full suspension history. A Nishiki FS3, designed by Richard Cunningham of Mantis Bicycles fame. The frame is closely styled after the Mantis Pro-Floater. It's one of the earliest (semi) mass-produced frames that actually worked! And it looks cool to boot...
I bought this frame with a crack in the head tube. It developed the crack very early in it's life so it's practically unused. The frame has been repaired & the affected area resprayed by a professional frame builder.
Frame spec's are:
Headtube = 1 1/8" x 112mm
Seat tube = 34.9mm OD, 30.6mm ID, 415mm c-c & 460mm c-t
Top tube = 550mm c-c
Chainstay (static) = 420mm c-c
B/B = 68mm english
Shock = Noleen oil damped coil over
