Nice!

It certainly looks heavy! Nice find. Like the Suntour Shimano mix. Should clean up lovely!

The horizontal top tube appeals to me. Reminds me of another e-stay but can’t think which one.

Haro?

Haro?

I’ve looked through the e-stay thread and there’s nothing exactly the same. Saracen Kili close apart from the wishbone stays. Haro has wishbone but no reinforcing struts between stays.

Vertical sticker says this bike has not been approved for use in traffic, just non open roads, so be sure to only ride it off road.

34lbs I was wrong. Seatpost is very stuck. Stem is loose.

Seatpost is about the right height for me so may just leave .

Wow! Very nice! I wish I had one, only smaller..........nope, smaller.............keep going..............yeah, small (17.5").
(It's that extra .5 that keeps people from patting me on the head and asking me if I've lost my mommy).

I wonder could you cut the weight down by replacing components? I've got a few bikes that are downright boat anchors, even though some of them have the best paint jobs around, but hey! They're e-stays, so it's alright!

@incorrigible bring your magnifying glass

Dang! I hate being late to the party. I didn't see this until now. @NorthOfHere Thanks for the heads-up.

Nishiki Ariel?


E-Stay enthusiast? Yes.
E-Stay specialist? Definitely NO, not for now, although anything's possible. I may get there someday when f I ever grow up.

Reminds me a bit of a redline 55

York Cycleworks had them but sold as the cycleworks kestrel

E-stays are cool wall stuff

Im hoping the tyres are 1kg each! Will strip it completely down, clean everything, replace cables etc & polish the F&F. Will replace tyres, saddle, rear mech and cantis. Maybe bar and stem if I see something.
