Coastvl:
They don't look like alloy Nitto bars to me. I have some here and the welds are definitely different.

RATTY:
The beads on alloy welds are very chunky, look like steel or cro mo to me :daumenhoch:

Rodgy1970:
looks like mig welding to me, have you tried a magnet on them?

herusix:
They might be brazed as opposed to welded ,like old bikes with Lugs used to be made.

If you stripped the top finish back and came back to a yellow/brass finish then that would probably confirm it.

The other option is TIG welding which normally produces a much finer weld bead.

monkian:
Is there any weight to them?
I've got some Alloy Nitto Bars, light as a feather with chunky beads.

Interesting frame. Tange used a gusset like that on a few models.
I'll see if I can find anything useful ;)
