Is that B-Max actually stainless steel, or is it just chromed steel? Not that there'd be any way to tell without some acid and a metallograph...

A simple magnet will tell the difference and when I got the bicycle it got the original sticker noting stainless frame bicycle. I got a lot of stainless bicycle parts and can identify stainless steel from pure stainless. A simple way is applying metal polish. Stainless steel when polish shows traces of black residue on the cloth used. My brother do have an original Japanese bicycle with stainless frame and fork also. Will try to post it later.

I got this Harley Cosmo chopper this afternoon. The owner bought this bike from the Middle East and was stored for months. Will definitely change the spokes to stainless steel and have the fenders and chain cover chromed.

The frame design is nice. The anti-swing mechanism looks like the ones installed in Maruishi mamacharis. Mamacharis are my favorites when it comes to bicycles with baby/child carriers. I have a variety of mamacharis and most comes with OGK carriers.

Thank you for the complement sir, I'm an avid fan of your thread, I just recently discovered this thread, I used to go to Malabon time by time just to buy some parts and accessories, do you still have your mamacharis that i've seen in this thread? I would really like to visit your place and see your collections of bikes, if you would allow me too?

Marukin
Looks like stainless carrier na lang kulang sa Marukin mo. I noticed the adjustable headpost. Saan mo siya nakuha? I am still looking for that kind of headpost.

Found this Primus Front Servo among my bicycle parts box. I usually keep in hand this type of brake servos to mount them on front alloy rims to maintain freshness of the rims.
