Stem and bars are Specialized, Shimano front cantilever brakes. It looks to be about 84-86 year wise, and is shockingly light for a steel framed mountain bike.
It's only $60, but just worried it's so obscure I may never be able to get that much out of it again. I will go check it out again tomorrow. If it fits me I may get it anyway
I have one - all stock. Here are some additional details:
CroMo Dubble-Butted Frame and Fork (Japan)
Full XT “Dear Head” Groupo including front/rear derailers, shifters, brakes, chain, cables, etc.
SunTour XC-II "Bear Trap" peddles
Araya RM-25 26" Wheels
Suzue sealed hubs
Specialized Nimbus EX Armidillo Tires
Mine was purchased at a high-end shop named Bikeology in Santa Monica, CA in 1986.
The bike glides effortlessly and quietly. While outfitted as a mountain bike, it could also be used as a touring bike. It was built to be a step up from Ibis.
