I just saw this on the ebay, 2 hours left... I thought it may be of interest to a mid school collector.

So did they use something like a copout metal instead, like 4131 or CRMOnique?
What was on those tri-moly GTs (and numerous others)? Was the frame made up apart from the 4130 bits, then competed in the US?

Basically in taiwan they use mostly a seamed tube that they call CrMo which can vary greatly in terms of what is actually in it.
Most dropouts are made from HiTen

Basically many of the stickers used on cheap frames made in the far east lied .......
