(I think the word cheap was actually used) Then there is the seatpost size and the BB. There were no Raysport dealers other than A-1. Which is why they still had most of them 30 years later. If there were an internet, they probably would have sold much better.
He did say it was a dead ringer, but not a Raysport.
Lynn, I've never seen washers brazed onto 1060 dropouts like that on any other marque. Have you? Has anyone? If so, please provide pics. I can measure the outside diameter of the washers on mine if need be....
I still say it came from Raul Garza's shop (probably not badged as a Raysport, as the Raysport project was long gone by the time this was made, apparently). It even uses a 27.2 post....
