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. -- Jay Beattie. |

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