General Information
The Exage Mountain group (M450) was used on mountain bikes in the late 80s (e.g. 1988 Nishiki Colorado).  It is a 7 speed SIS group with a Biopace Triple crankset and a Cantilever/U-brake combination.  The Biopace chainrings 28-38-48T are steel.  The Exage Mountain group (M450) coexisted with a complementary Exage Sport road group (A450).  An interesting note is that, while the model number designated on the right-side (drive-side) Exage Mountain crank arm is FC-M450, the left side crank arm only says "450".  I wonder if this is to allow the same left side crank arm part to be used for both the M450 and A450 cranksets?  Anyone have an FC-A450 set to compare this to?
