Help identifying manufacturer of Performance frame
I
picked this frame up for $10 yesterday and the guy threw in a old biplane stumpjumper fork for an extra $10. The frame is made of True Temper OX Ultra 2 tubing. I've seen before that these frames were made by either Bridgestone,Miyata or Panasonic but can't find any info now. I want to get new frame decals for it and was hoping someone would point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

The first digit 2 is the year of frame manufacture, 1992 . The next two digits 12 is the month of manufacture, December. So a 1993 model year.
I have seen a Performance 1993 catalogue. There were two versions of the M103, one with front suspension and one without. Shimano XTR components.

The serial number is consistent with KHS of Taiwan.
