Tubes made in the US does not mean the frame was

According to gm1230126 the 92 Avalanche was made by Toyo in Japan. If anybody would know about this he would. Still not a Taiwanese bike.
This really needs to be sorted out as their is a very good chance this will be the BOTM winner IMO .

So you're showing us a US tubing sticker for why?

Got to be Andy b's KHS, just beautiful & even better in the metal

And for that reason it gets my vote.

I won't even go that route. There's a more questionable entrys this month but bikes has been choosen for this month special. Case closed. It suppose to be just a fun on the end of the day.

Hmmm. All very nice. The Giant and the Parkpre with the matching forks (REKIBorter's) equal third for me, then the Bridgestone, but by a tyres width the Jamis. Succker for red, me.

I'd be happy to own any of them (except the e-stays, which do not appeal aesthetically at all).

Narrowed it down to four:
Mossy's 1992 GT Avalanche (If made in Taiwan, which is questionable)

manbeer's Barracuda A2E

klasse's 1991 Bridgestone MB-0 Zip (not the first bike I think of when thinking "Made in Taiwan" ?!?!)

kaiser's KHS Montana XT

 

[bmx4130crmo]

for me the eighties

makster's 1987 Jamis Dakota Competition

cheers

I agree - and I can't confirm if the silver foil sticker on the headtube read made in 'Japan' or 'Taiwan'. I have loads of pics when i picked the bike up, but none showing the said sticker - typical!

Kindly, if any member has a pic of the head tube sticker to confirm where the frame was made then that would be great.

If I have no evidence by Sunday, it's only fair / right that I pull the Avalanche from BoTM.

John / community – sincere apologies for causing any inconvenience. i should have done my homework first.

Barracuda for me - quite rare brand (for sure in Pl), I don't even know if they still existing...
I saw one or two lot of time ago in Poland, and I remember than I liked them
