Anyone know more about this brand?
From when to when they produced parts? Any history?

I have this ratty layback seatpost but very nice quality..
Was on a '81 bike.

+1! Would also like to know that ALPS info as I keep being tempted by ALPS stuff for my Kuwi!

I had some Alps CW style twin top tube freestyle bars, i did a bit of digging about a year ago & I'm sure theres something on the museum about them, someone told me over there that they made parts for some early Kwahara's ...

Someone's just told me that there may be a French connection, hence the name? Does that ring a bell with anyone?

I hope you don't mind RadRat, but I'm going to copy this over to the Tech & Resto section in case anyone missed it here, as I need a fairly quick answer before something I've got my eye on is sold!

Thanks!
