Howdy,
I came across a steel frame bicycle frameset that looks to be of good quality, but now markings that allow me to identify its maker. The serial number is KH 05653, and there is a large "K" cutout in the bottom of the bottom bracket. My first thought was a KHS, but the representative with whom I spoke said they never did a "K" in the bottom bracket, and the serial number doesn't jive with any of theirs.
It's a lugged frame, vertical rear dropouts, and over-the-bottom bracket hanger cable guides. Steerer tube is threaded. Tange front dropouts, and Suntour rear dropouts. The lugs of the mail tubes have cutouts that look like a stylistic tulip flower with three points at the top. Rear spacing is 120mm, and it for sure a road frame.
Any ideas what it is?
Thanks,
