Just scored this... I have no idea what it is. Something tells me it may be mid school.

Kuwahara is my best guess.


b.

that's my guess, too. 1987, built by ANLUN, i'd say.

I 3rd that.

i dunno, looks a little like a diamond back to me

Check out the dropouts... what bike company had those that kicked out like those?

I was thinking ........ I don't know????

just thought of it!!!! Haro, but now stamps...

The dropouts look EXACTLY like haro's



But, the serial # is on the BB and no gusset from the headtube to the downtube.

Don't know if this helps.... but it has Powerlite, Robinson and GT stickers on it.

dont think its kuwahara material at all every close lookalike but no cigar?? dunno

I just checked out some bikes in the museum and it actualy looks like a Kuwahara laserlite, but I was looking at a complete bike not a frame, The forks do look like the Kuwahara.

I didn't think the kuwahara forks have that extra 'angle' in the dropouts...

Remember, the forks could have been changed from the originals. It's been known to happen.

take the forks off and see if they are stamped...

Took them off, no stamping anywhere.

Well shikies!! I say just call it boobokitty**** and call it a day.... I am out of ideas

alright then! I'll just go get me some 1987 Kuwahara decals, slap them on, and throw it up on ebay!

Or maybe have some KuwaDiamondPredatRobinHaro decals made. That'd look nice.

Not sure if its a Kuwahara, the serial number is really weird there. It should start with a T or K than a number like 2,3,4 or so and than an alphabet than 5 more numbers if I am correct.

Also that drop out is not looking Kuwahara to me, close but not close enough. I don't think its a Kuwahara, especially a LaserLite, sorry

Check out the open ends of the tubes welded to the dropouts, that welding is not that great too. Here are some LaserLite dropouts for you, KZ84 on left and KZ83 on right, thanks

Ahhh, I see.. thanks Jamie!

I can rule that out...

Someone mentioned DiamondBack...

What about Powerlite? Were they a functional company in '87?

Is a Schwinn totally out of the question?

Robinson?

Could be just a frame from the Taiwanese company that made the Haros and had some extra dropouts that they tossed on someone else's design.

That might make sense, but let me tell you where/how/who I got it from...

I got it from craigslist, the other parts were decent (Tuff Neck stem, GT Pro Series bars, MKS pedals, CMC rims, Sugino cranks. This lady was selling it because her son was going to college. She told me he had built it up and swapped parts out all the time, etc.. Now, this COULD be a crap frame that this kid just added good parts when he was able to buy them. OR it could actually be something decent. The lady seemed to think it was high quality.... Not that she would know anything... but I'm assuming she probably had heard her son say once or twice at least what brand bike he had. I dunno...

I bought it for the Tuff Neck

Speaking of craigslist.... Steef, this isn't you is it?

Schwinn Predtior? or maybe a univiga?

Nope, not me. I did email that guy, though. Maybe I can unload some stuff on him if he ever replies.

I'm feeling like it's time for a reduction in stuff.

I rember seeing that byke on craigslist and spotted the GT bars right away. I think you should turn it into a Ratbyke for the September BBQ. I've got some nice Ratty parts if you don't.
