Found an "Anlen" MTB
Pics to come. There's a 1989 Turbo saddle on it with a sticker that has the owner's name and address - looks German. All Deore XT, 7 speed. Looks like it toured the world.
Interesting in that the chain stays do not go direct to the bottom bracket - they go about half way forward from the dropouts but then travel up at a 45 deg angle, then level out again and connect to the seat tube.
See drawing...waiting for the cam batt to charge...

Nope - Anlen "Sable". Cool Nishiki, though, very similar.
My recollection of the chainstays was off...they go up from the axle then level off.

Nice bike. But then, I have a soft spot in my heart for orphan technology on a MTB.
By the way, Sirrus is that your Alien?
