Mystery braze-ons on Giant MTB frames
Hi,
On several Giant MTBs (dating from the 1990s), I've spotted some brazed on bosses that I can't see the purpose of. The first is inside the left fork leg (and only on that side) and is about 25mm below the left cantilever post (but at 90deg to it). Perhaps a dynamo fitting? The second (pair) are on the front sides of the seatstays and about 60mm further up (towards the saddle) than the cantilever posts. You can see one of them in this pic http://img49.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sl380202ws2.jpg Any ideas, please? Richard. |

The dynamo fitting sounds like a good guess to me. For the others,
I'd say rack mounting bosses. It looks like there are appropriate holes down by the hub as well.

They looks too narrowly fitted to be for a rack (and a little low) so the shopper's lock idea sounds right. Oh, and that bike has tire creep. Watch those valve stems! |
