Not a lot to restore on this rad. Is it an Akisu or anyone knows this type, I love the back but never see it?

Akisu forks and Polygone stem, seems to be a nice survivor, 83?

The back looks a bit like Truster or from the brand Free Spirit, but not really correct

that rotor protection hints towards a company that would not mainly be in bmx
 ; maybe some german company like Schauff (probably not) --just guessing as the seller lives in Essen ? ! ?

I was hoping that the Polygone stem would help. It seems that Hotfeet and maybe also a Silvertons came equipped with these..... what other bikes came along with Polygone ? 

What's the printing on the SADDLE ?..... OR the blk/yellow STICKER ON the DOWNTUBE read?
