They made Lotto team bikes for the 1992 season, at least. The riders didn't all like them; "Made By Klingons" was one unkind backronym.MBK were the remains of Motobecane and had some interesting seat stay designs

After the downstairs loo replacement, dealing with boiler breakdown, waiting for bits, eventually got the bike together.
I discovered that Campag and Stronglight chainwheels and cranks are not interchangeable on the same length axle.
Quite pleased with final outcome as I rode around the block to check that nothing came off. Still needs a shakedown ride - I bet something will need tightening.
Two pack (2K) lacquer seems to be an excellent product. Although it says use within a few hours I have found that the mixed life can be extended to nearly a week if stored alongside the milk bottles in the fridge.
I would still like to know the original frame builder. It wouldn't be difficult to print a decal and fit somewhere. In the
meantime "Nonloso".

Great thread & really interesting, thanks. Nonloso is class.
Glad you like it. Honesty is the best policy. Would still like to know who made the frame. Rides well now.
Two years have passed and and at last I think that that I have identified the frame as a Fondriest Gamma.

Compare the lovely bike shown with the 3rd and 5th photo in my thread plus the "shot in" seat stays I am pretty sure that my frame is similar. Why the person covered that great colour scheme with black rattle can I can't imagine. Sadly, the effects of lock-ins and my long covid and other health effects I will be selling the bike shortly. No idea of value or the state of the market at the moment. Thanks for looking.
