I had a look through the museum section yesterday looking for a match, your frame looks so similar to a few, but not quite the same.
Revcore, Redline, CW, Falcon Pro, all are very similar but there's usually a slight difference in the rear dropout or headtube.
Didn't see any with the same gusset behind the BB, that seems to be the distinguishing feature.

Edit>> Also, the way the toptube and seatstays join the seattube rules out some of the models listed above.

The Scorpion forks may be a clue, but the Scorpion ads in the museum don't show any with a head gusset.

Worth 60 for the pedals and wheels if they're in good condition and you want a bike to ride.

If they're Shimano DX pedals then they're worth sorting.
Depends on the damage, if it's the bearings themselves they're easily replaced.
If it's damage to the axle or cones you can replace them from a set of DX copies (or a pair of Shimano SX's?).

Only problem might be if the bearing cups in the pedal body itself are damaged,
Unlikely though, I'd imagine the problem is just some damaged bearings which have seized the pedal.

Edit>> The frame may just turn out to be a generic frame, but you would have some nice name brand components to build up another frame in the future.
Trying to build a whole bike for 60 would be tricky, so it's worth it in this sense, you might have to take a chance regarding condition of the parts though.

I've PM'ed you some links to another site with some pics,

Hutchman's post led me to do a little searching,

The gusset behind the BB looks the same as the ones on MCS Speed (Unlimited) Hutches in the pics.
Other early MCS bikes also apparently had this gusset design.

Got any pics of the brake bridge with the brake removed?, may be a good clue for people here.
Also a pic of the serial number stamp might help someone identify it.

I'd hold onto that frame in the meantime, you never know..

Some good shots there, I've put the best ones here:
See how the brake bridge has that L shape in the first pic, and also has a distinctive shape in the third pic.
Hopefully someone will be able to finally identify it for you.



Brake bridge and BB gusset are like those on an early 80's MCS Magnum pictured on vbmx. That bike doesn't have a headtube gusset though.
Looking like some sort of MCS made bike. Nice find if it is.
