Has anyone heard od a bike called a DC Douglas?
I have a bike I picked up at a flea market a few years ago... it is a DC Douglas 7000. Never heard of it before... the frame is Columbus MATRIX tubing. It has Shamano 600 crank, brakes, stem, pedals... and Suntour 7000 durailers. It has Durace hubs and 6-spd cassette and the rims are Matrix. Great components and the bike has racing geometry. Rides like a dream. I suspect it is mid 80's vintage.

Saw one this summer!
Funny thing, I saw one this summer way up here in Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada.
A fella was trying to sell it for about $100.00. I tried to get some background on it
but was only able to see that it was japanese/taiwanese in origin.
Looked cool but I wasn't keen to drop that much. I could have been mistaken though.

Oh...just did a Forum search and found an interesting comment by T-Mar
"The McDonnell Douglas corporation manufactured aircraft in Toronto and may be the originator of a special production run for employees or customers such as Air Canada. Miele was also located in the greater Toronto region."
Could be a Meile in disguise! Sweet...if it was. I have two Miele's and they are fantastic.
Cheers

McDonnell Douglas
The Douglas Aircraft designation for commercial jets was "DC", as in DC-3, DC-9, DC-10, etc.
So DC Douglas immediately rang "McDonnell Douglas" in my ears. Curious thing... Phil G.
