The Gan Well Pro pics match up very well with the Performance Corsa frames. It appears we have a Japanese manufacturer who sourced out the frames to various brands. I don't think it a Kinesis frame. The Performance frames were definitely available in 1988, a full year before Kinesis was formed, and according to my literature, were produced in Japan while Kinesis was a Taiwanese company that also has production facilities in China and the USA.
If I read that correctly.......Its not a Peugeot then? My frame is definently bonded and "pinned" which those weren't correct? Also.......many of the pics of early Kinesis forks look very similar if not exactly like mine. Perhaps they bought the company that produced these or simply re-branded them later on?
