Mystery Blue Frame!
 
12 Attachment(s)
I would be super surprised if I can figure this one out, but thought I'd give it a go on this thread. The only clue I have is that the bottom bracket is a Maeda Industry, and the bars are Sakea Customs, made in Japan. There are no serial numbers or badge, the paint looks original, but who knows. Picked it up for $10, liked the size and used parts I had lying around to finish it up. It's got an Atlus LT group (derailleurs, DT shifter), and SR cranks from a Ted Williams free spirit. Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks!

Pretty confident it is a repaint, auto store rattle can job. Frame likely Japanese in origin. Is the bottom bracket Maeda, not Media as stated. If so it is Suntour.

I couldn't tell you the brand, but it looks like an entry level bike boom bike, probably late 70's.

Hey thanks guys, I figured as much but thought I'd ask. Still, $10 and a few parts and I got a new bike to ride. Would I be ridiculous to ask $125 for it later in the spring? I probably have about $80 into it.

Nah, you could probably get around that for it from a college kid.
