So I walked past an abandoned bike on my street for a couple of weeks and finally put a sign on it that said "I'm taking this on monday". Monday afternoon, I took it home and stuck it in my basement without giving it a good look. Weeks went by and I finally went down last night and started stripping it down to see what could be used for parts. I instantly noticed that it had no stickers or emblems and it had a really cool paint job under all the dirt. It's sort of iridescent blue/purple with small dots and "~" shapes of various sizes and lengths. I didn't give it a second thought until I started pulling the bar tape off and noticed the Nitto emblem hiding underneath. As I pulled the rotting athletic tape off the stem I found another Nitto emblem. My inner-soundtrack was suddenly interrupted with a brain-rattling WTF?!?. I din't have time to investigate the bike further and check out the other parts but I instantly decided to make it my next fixie conversion.

Does anyone know which manufacturers used Nitto stems and bars on their bikes in the mid 90's (rough guess)? I'd kinda like to find out who made it.
