I think 84 maybe 85 too.
I'm just going by, I would use one as readily as I would use an elina as they both had that familiar mx shape.
As elina's were used on stock redline PL24's til 84 with left over units still selling in 85 then I wouldn't have any qualms about an mx.
In fact balls you can scrubb that thought.
I just remembered beards red Amtrak sporting one and it just looked right .
That was early 90's.
I think that's the attitude really, quite a bit of early mid school was just different frames using up old school parts, :coolsmiley:

Nice saddles, but you would be better of buying my mint black leather Kashi Aero, date code '84......

Jokes aside I love the MX, what ride are you thinking if putting it on?

Personally i would use an mx upto 86 on a show bike,later if i didnt want to be era correct :daumenhoch:

Mx were a better shape for racing,the aero has a nasty lip on the back which can catch yer knacks when getting over the back of the bike :(

After 86 i would use a dominator,but tbh Kashi mx/aeros were a lot better quality saddles.

BTW that advert must be 83 or before judging by the colours available :)

The ones in that museum thread they are talking about as fake are aero not mx arn't they.
On the side stamp I thought there were two or three variants. The picture I put up been the earliest.
On the seats today for a large unit order kashimax will stamp the sides with what ever you want.
A guy on BW ordered some unstamped so he could have the Raleigh logo put on. The run amount order was too big to justify with kashimax .

I paid £125 for my black one (was on ebay though!). Much prefer the MX's to Aeros. It's on my 84 skyway T/A

It really depends on the build for me.

Could you use a kashi  mx as a cycle-pro shotgun 1 substitution on a Bob Haro Replica build ?.....it's kinda era correct and easier to find  :-\

slightly off topic I know ? ::)
