mystery bike,..what is this? Found it! : FUCHS!

[Defiant]

Some time ago i saw a girl riding this bike but since a month or 6 the bike is chained to a pole because it has a flat tyre.
I always look at the bike when i ride past it

I was walking by today and noticed some detail:
The frame is build from Alu and also the fork looks to be alu,..and rather fat tubes, must be very stiff
There are openings in the top tube for internal cable routing, the headset is XT and so are the hubs.
The bar is specialized and the derrailleurs are DX.
Brakes are Magura but these must have been added later

What brand is this?

i am very tempted to put a note on the bike that i want to buy it,..

looks a big old chunky mofo

rescue it and give it life again

It's had a hard life by the look's of it.

I'm racking my brains for bug tubed Alu bilks with internal Cable routing.
Klein and Grisley and it isn't either(besides IIRC the Grisleys with internal cable routing were bonded jobbies)

Was she cute? Service and tidy it and make her happy.

[mikee]

i was gonna say FUNK but the seattubes too long

naah
grisleys were bloody awful looking things ,pierced top tube seatstay mess

i know Ii'm trying hard to forget (Grisley 10, 20 and 30 all poo!)- the ones with the internal brake routing were the bonded ones used by Peugeot as team bike circa 92/93.

actually, she is,..


FUnk did not have internal cable routing? do not remember that the did

Those rear seat stays even put the 'power stays' on an Alu 'O' to shame :shock:

They're nearly as fat as the top tube. :shock:

I wonder if it's nothing from the well known names :? at all.

i has to be stiff as hell with those tubes,..
Welds are rather nice and the, looks to be original, parts like XT and DX are not that low end,...
I wonder if it is something from a known big brand (what i do not expect)
