r0ckh0unds' Nashbar Terra XC 9000
Picked up this lugged mtb a couple of weeks ago. The MP listing was pretty vague but I was attracted to the roller cam brakes and lugged unicrown fork. When I went to check it out I was pleasantly surprised to find a lugged Ishiwata EXO frame and a Turbo saddle under the gel seat cover. It has been said that these were a knockoff or cross between the early Stumpy's and Cimarron's. Pics are as found. I will update as I progress. Serial # GA69577

That's a way cool bike!!!! The roller cams aren't quite as appealing to me as they are to you- But they're still cool in that 1987 sort of way! CrMo/CrMo is top notch!!! Although traditional fork crowns are the best- if you're going to have a unicrown fork- a classy lugged unicrown is the way to go. Laid back and with those 18" chainstays means it's going to be smooth on the road. Not going to climb so well- but who cares.
Add in all the cool Suntour bits- (including the Head Binder- cable hanger- that alone is tits ahoy!). What is that crank? Joytech hubs?
Congratulations!!!

Hubs are Suzue, crankset is Sugino AP110. Thinking about turning this into a drop bar gravel bike. Fully committed to the roller cams due to the post location.
