Those rear drops are pretty distinctive. Can't say I recognize it but or looks a nice frame. Certainly wouldn't be surprised if it was a one off frame or low quantity affair

Cool thanks, it's really growing on me. Ive messaged sawzall see if he can shed any info

Looks like the old seatstay decal says dude and the chainstay says bad attitude. Doubt they are makes or models though?

[oldschoolace]

Yep just found these

Interesting how the image on the decal is a mountain bike. Maybe it was made by a mountain bike maker?

[thebigdog]

Good digging that!
Interesting love a bit of detective work , seems odd though the decals seem 90s but really dont fit what it is?

Nice find.

the way the chain and seat stays meet the drop out is pretty unique, do the welds all the same thoughout the whole bike? Im wondering if maybe the rear was repaired and then it rechromed, long stretch i know, but thyre unlike anything ive ever seen before

[thebigdog]

I have banged a thread on the muesem , someone picked up it looks like titanium , which does it explain it being light & having no rust! The welds are the same through out.

Wondering if its just some kind of prototype thing?

Will get it pulled apart and take some more photos

The plot thickens! Where did you pick it up from Matt?

[oldschoolace]

Try a decent magnet on it. It shouldn't stick if it's titanium

Yeah doesn't stick, so it is titanium?

Interesting thread - many thanks for posting.

I would imagine with that distinctive rear-end something will come up on this eventually. Any faint stamping on the tubes as I know Reynolds did Ti tubing around the mid-80's? I have the WHEELS Ti prototype and the ex-team manager tells me at that time Ti welding was eye-wateringly expensive and tough to get done. Therefore you can assume somebody spent a fair bit of money and effort constructing this frame of yours, assuming it is from that era. Some nice bits and bobs on there too. Keep us posted with your findings.
