yes it looks like one of the ones what someone called bankrupt bike parts has been selling on ebay to me

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #5 on:** December 19, 2011, 11:26 PM »

done with the right parts it can look tops - choose carefully and it will look like they sold it complete like that

It is a nice looking frame and your right that with the right parts it could be a nice bike.
It has a odesy giro headset so maybe stick with that?. Maybe one day i will find out what
it is

Like the other said i think it is a generic frame - copied from other frames and made for the mass market but cheaper - but they are a good frame and can be worked well

have a look on here at what sort of parts suits it

mags or spokes ? colour choice ?

batthink · « **Reply #8 on:** December 20, 2011, 08:24 AM »

Thats cool may have to look for parts then and see what i can build. As far as mags or spokes then ive got white mags and gold and chrome weinmans? thought maybe gold and chrome?
Anyway thanks for the help so far guys and it looks like i may be useing your skills again as i have a workshop full of frames and stuff

I'm wondering whether this is a copy, all the townsends, universals and magna's that look like this are all Hi Ten frames, this one is cro mo, making it instantly 200% better [unless its just a sticker!!] Perhaps this is something else a bit more mid range, like a Ruption etc

Good point is it just a sticker? Do these cro mo stickers come in 1 design because ive seen the exact sticker in
the same place on a aero reflex on the bay?

well the weight of the frame and the welds would tell you, get some close ups when it arrives

batthink · « **Reply #12 on:** December 20, 2011, 06:56 PM »

If i could get pics on here i would but cant for some reason. ive got the frame with me so could weigh it and take pics.

batthink · « **Reply #13 on:** December 21, 2011, 10:06 AM »

Ive weighed the frame guys after fully stripping it down and it comes in at just under 3kg.....6.5lb
and decided that im going with cro mo parts to match the frame. will pinch parts of my other bikes and build it up for pics if i can get photo bucketto work

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #14 on:** December 21, 2011, 12:51 PM »

you can get photobucket working

keeping it working and not making you go mad will be another thing

batthink · « **Reply #23 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:22 AM »

batthink · « **Reply #24 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:30 AM »
