  • Two votes for Panasonic is enough to steer me that way for research at least.

    Thanks.

  • Looks Panasonic to me w the seat stays and rear drops. Have a close look at the rear dropouts as the should have Panasonic on them in v small writing. Nice frame for sure tho :)! T

  • @general_greyharbour Never seen a Panasonic like that, they use a cast lug integrating the binding bolt (photo below), this is separate pieces brazed together. Also Panasonics always have their spikey headlugs. But the dropouts look similar.

    3rensho built this style occasionally. And then so did his co-workers sometimes when they went their separate ways - Makino and Yamaguchi.

    Certainly I've seen a few Makino that way and it would be my first choice except for the rear dropouts aren't normally the same, and they'd use more standard short-point lugs where 3rensho might not have (like in the long-point example below). 3rensho would use a similar rear dropout (shown below).

    There's one other too I'm trying to dig out but they did it slightly differently with a smoother top edge across the lug and seat-stays.

  • Brilliant insights!
    Thank you!

    I had a Makino a few years ago - HERE ON PEDALROOM
    It had a similar seat stay arrangement but by comparison, the dropouts were much simpler than on this unidentified frameset.

    I have a bunch of decent parts-bin stuff to build it up but it won't be respectful to a proper NJS build 'cause I don't wanna buy new parts!

    I can paint to a high standard so the finish will be "fun" in some way... my only aim really is to try and find out which logo should be painting on it!

    Panasonic is great but compared to others, the logo is a yawn.
    I've never seen a Makino I didn't like.
    I LOVE that chunky Yamaguchi logotype... if I've no way to get any kind of firm-ish answer, I think I'll just misspell the brand as "YAMAGUCCI" and call it a day.

  • Paul Langley mean anything to anyone? Friend of a friends frame is after a bit more info please.

  • Hi everyone,
    could someone help me identify the year/exact model of this rear hub and potentially point me in a direct where to get a sprocket/cog for it? https://imgur.com/a/Bq2gytP album here.

    It says "Revolver" and "DMR" on it , but the DMR website is no help at all.

    It is 135mm rear spacing and one side is the classic screw on freewheel, the other side seems to be for a fixed gear sprocket BUT a regular sprocket is too wide as in does not screw in at all (1-2cm space).

    appreciate any pointers! TIA!

  • Photo of the fixed sprocket on the hub?

  • Perhaps that’s for a disc brake adapter. I think I have that same hub with the adapter on I’ll have a look and report back.

  • Yep looks like it’s for a specific DMR disc adapter. Has the same 2 different threads underneath

  • Does anyone knows what kind of hubs these are? They seem rather cool. Came up for sale with some pretty beat up Bianchi road bike somewhat locally.

  • Oh, come on now, what is that webp nonsense about? Proper pics of aforementioned hubs:

  • omg you legend! Do happen to know where I can buy this or what it is called? Because that way I could run it fixed with a bolt-on-cog.

  • Thanks! I assumed it might have been Spinergy but didn't find anything that looked like it. Founds some very similar motocross hubs — google search gone really bad in last few years.

  • It’s called a dmr disc adapter but they stopped making them a decade ago. I think there’s a possibility to find a fixed sprocket that would fit, if you look at the new Surly flip flop hub the threads and size look pretty close

  • A decade ago... dang it. I'll try my luck looking around. Otherwise I'll get the freewheel off and put an adapter there. I will also look into the surly hub. thanks again jay

  • Can anyone identify the maker of this frameset? The lugs and embossed head tube are quite distinctive

  • This is the only identifying mark on a frame, does anyone recognise the logo?

  • The Nervex lugs, what looks like over bb cable guide puts it in the 60's to 70's. The top tube guides and those dropouts don't seem to match, maybe the builder who did the mods also brazed the S to the head tube?

  • Got a jump frame which I'm trying to identify.

    There's this logo on the down tube gusset behind the head tube.

  • Simplon has a similar logo, but the horizontal drop out are not common. It might have been a MTB frame mean for Rohloff hub.

    Wonder if Stevens didn't have a logo similar in the past.

  • Can anybody identify which model of hetchins this is based on the lugs? I’ve done a fair bit of internet sleuthing with no luck.

    If it helps - it has curly stays.

    I’ve enquired about a frame number
