Not the same, different gusset and rear dropouts.  It may be a later Piranha but deffo not the one in the add or the pics in that thread.

Its a Piranha alright - OK the gusset is SLIGHTLY different, but the dropouts seem the same ..? Look at the fork dropouts, look at the wheels - pretty specific, don't you think? So it's clearly a Piranha   just not that one for 92 quid.

The Piranha has a looptail the yellow frame does not and the gussets are very different.

So THIS has a looptail?



And in which way exactly are the dropouts different? Aren't they rather similar, if not IDENTICAL?

[MartyC]

Argh! you got me, I missed that pic and all the mags I have show them with a looptail; my bad
