Look Ma, No Hands!
OK, so long story short, there were two slightly different S/O imported MTB frames available in the early 80's, one eventually making it's way into the accessories page of the 1983 BMX catalog. A couple of us have been trying to chase this little crumb trail over on MTBR and an original owner relates having seen a drawing of it in a 1980 sales rep's catalog, with the first batch of frames arriving in spring '81 (receiving his with the second batch in the the fall). One of the frames is lugged with a forged crown fork, the other a tig'd frame with a BMX-style unicrown fork.
Just curious if anyone out there was bored and felt like flipping through whatever dealer order books or monthly newsletters they might have in a free moment. I have the 1984 Accessories price list, and in the frames price list insert it lists three-
28538 19" Mountain bike frameset SB
28374 Mountain bike 21" SP
28375 Mountain bike 19" SP
Which we think translates to Silver Blue and Silver Pearl.
Thanks,
