Default Frame I.D.

A bike has appeared in the racks that is a real beauty -- steel, fast-
back seat cluster with an engraved A over M in the side of the seat
lug and a similar engraving on the outer lug tang on the semi sloping
chrome fork. No decals, but the fork has the old gold triangular
Columbus sticker. Short point lugs, well filed. It looks late '70s
to early 80s American -- quill stem, SR headset with some more modern
stuff on it now (including 9sp). 1010/B dropouts.

If it were MA I would think Mike Appel or Matt Assenmacher -- but it
looks like AM (A stacked on the M), plus those two built bikes with
conventional seat stay/seat clusters.

It wasn't in the rack this morning. When it appears, I'll snap a
picture.
