This ride is my heavy-duty excursion bike,the alu frame was handmade in Taiwan. Hubs("industrial" bearings in forged aluminium housing),the blade-shaped spokes and alu-rims are Motex X-Ram(Germany)products,tires are from Schwalbe(SmartSam).Brakes,derailleurs(Deore LX)and sprockets are Shimanos,the crankset(Truvativ)and chain is Sram.Handlebar is Zoom,stem is BBB forged alu,fork-neck bearings are from ahead(all made in Taiwan) just as the spring suspension seat-stem Post-Moderne and the Velo saddle.
Front suspension(Merida by SunTour)is also Taiwanese.
It is a very robust,solid bike that made great excursions and hard tours all over in my country.
