I cant for the life of me remember frames nos. it looks like a pro, if its the same length top tube as the badlander it is, all mrd were built in 83-84. Not much after.
Yes for the expert frame it is definitely 064087 without any gap in between.Actually, there *could* be a code for chromed and painted frames.For the manufatureing process it would make sense.Just read what you posted. especially the Tim March quote.I doubt they just made the frames in 1983/84.In Germany these were advertised later, maybe 1986.My personal story was that I destroyed nearly every other frame like Skyway, Gt Performer, and some I donīt remember.This way I noticed the MRD Badlander which has been offered with 99 years warrenty. Well, I killed at least 4 forks, but the frame is strong as hell.I can ask Stephan Prantl who had a MRD full sponsorship back than.As far I know he still owns his Badlander as well.BTW, check out the Tizer 1987 Worlds DVD frequently offered on Ebay. There you find at least 2 Badlander during service. (Stephan an me).

Are all the forks stamped as well?I have a set of MRD forks I was told are badlander forks that I'd like to confirm?
j***** you are a persistent bugger. good news about the codes. one thing you don't know is that there are 10 frames out there somewhere with top tubes one inch longer than the pro, ****** has one. god know where the rest are. thanks for spending the time doing this. you might be interested to know i have located the first prototype mrd frame ever made.
Tape measure time - Quotej***** you are a persistent bugger. good news about the codes. one thing you don't know is that there are 10 frames out there somewhere with top tubes one inch longer than the pro, ****** has one. god know where the rest are. thanks for spending the time doing this. you might be interested to know i have located the first prototype mrd frame ever made.It's getting interesting. Who is the quote off buddy? What length top tubes do the respective frames have? That would be good to add to the details you already have ? How many frames do you think are still in existance ?J.
