That's when Maruishi and Yokota (two other big contract makers) also showed up with bikes under their own name.
That Merida is a sharp bike.

I know that Maruishi was selling in the USA in the early 1980's. I have a 1984 or 1985, and I've seen a number that are older. They are a Japanese company (aka Jamis). Did they have production in Taiwan as well?
