Expensive and thankfully too big for me! This one is a '91 and was their top steel frame MTB that year

You could probably make one easy enough. I need to make one for a late 80s MBK... when I get chance!

nice frameset, I have thrown countless carry straps like that into the bin when dismantling donor bikes - lol

always liked a kuwahara and this one has nice paint scheme, sadly I fear import duty if bringing into UK from Germany

Me and Phill are both disgusted by your actions!

As the famous saying goes, one mans strap is another mans treasure...

heheh, See this is why I never throw anything away (Also why I have a shed full of junk)

It would add another £85 - £100 on this bike

Ha! I used to throw lots of stuff out and i’m
Still haunted by some of my actions. Not anymore though! Hence the need for a bigger garage/workshop! Buying anything abroad these days can be quite a costly experience!

Yes, it's a shame as there is some lovely stuff out there.
I have bought two frames from Italy in the last week though.... I was supposed to be stopping
