Hello all, I own a 1991 alumicross. on the underside of the down tube there is a single braze-on, the catalogue describes it as a Air Bottom Basement. Does anybody have any idea what that is? Thanks, Jake
Hi Jake: Sorry I do not know what is Air Bottom Basement, probably is Bottom Bracket(sometimes the translation from Japanese to English is not quite clear). Regards, Hernan
Thank you so much for this post. long back(95). I owned an Elevation 100 when i was in school & i was very fond of it. Had bought it from a student that had come here for studies. Since Miyata is not available in India i dint know what model the bike was of. Now, I do, Thanks to you.

I am considered a bicycle guru in the industry. I have also had many amazing experiences that you would never believe. It's now time for me to share these experiences with you.

Jake,
The air bottle basement is a single threaded mount on the underside of the down tube. It is the same size and threading as a water bottle braze-on.
It was designed to mount a bracket to hold a CO2 cartridge. Hence - air bottle basement.
I have a '92 - 916 and have been looking for the bracket to hold the CO2 cartridge.
