@T-Mar and all!

I purchased a bike with a repainted frame, primarily for the B.E.L.T. seat for $120 Canadian. Advertised as a Bianchi. I assumed it had been stripped of the good parts and rebuilt with a mix. Seller seemed to be honest, just not into bikes. I bought in an evening and then the cold snap hit and so I just removed the seat and left the bike in my garage. Assumed it was a Japanese made frame set.

Serial number is LS321511.

I tried your serial lists for KHS and Hodaka as they made frames for Bianchi and their number system didn't seem match this serial. Unsure what I actually had, I posted it as a thread and was told, no - not a Bianchi. Not overly worried as it was cheap and if I were just to strip it I'll not lose any money.

Can you Id it? Could it be one that follows the "S(1) (Japan): MSyxxxxx" format??

I've attached a photo of the serial number




I'll go see Jody LEE at Jester and have him decide it the "rake" issue is worth adjusting.....
