Are those Curtis bars on it? I can't see the top tube join very well.

Definitely not a Mongoose but some decent parts on it. Not sure about the bars as it could just be a sticker but you never know :coolsmiley:

Yeah, some good parts on it, but I have no idea about the frame, never seen anything like it before

Looks like an Akisu with an extra gusset welded on the top tube.

Could be a MT Racing Silver Fox I reckon... Toptube probably snapped off the headtube, and was rewelded with added gusset bracket

I originally thought Silverfox but the forks don't look right and would need a pic of the brake bridge to be sure.  ???
