I keep meaning to post a pic of it on the show us your cross bike thread but have'nt gotten around to it. It is a great bike and does indeed withstand a beating. I am thinking about getting some NOS Sun Tour 160mm cranks to help out with pedal strike since the BB is low. I got this bike from my brother who got it from Nashbar catalog (pre internet). It was a sort of build your own bike type thing then. The frame is Tange 2 made in Japan.
