Has anyone got any further info on this company? They seem to be from the early/mid-80s, may have supplied parts for Mongoose and/or Kuwis and I'm told have a French Connection! Answers on a postcard to Popeye Doyle, c/o Mont Blanc, the Alps! :daumenhoch:
-
Japanese manufacturer, made road, track and bmx parts.
-
Any idea how they are viewed/rated against other Japanese manufacturers such as Tange, Koizumi, Tioga, Kusuki, etc??
-
Highly regarded in the southern hemisphere and featured highly on Australian branded/made bikes.

They made Cr-Mo Heli-Arc Welded Straight & V-Bars for Tioga.
Both exactly the same size: 26" x 9.5" & both ALPS branded under the riders RH Bar End.

They also made this Industrial looking Stem (maybe late 70's / early 80's).
