Double Toptube Mystery Frame
« on: December 01, 2006, 12:33 AM »
There's a couple of Double Dynamites on the board of late, thought this was one but I'm not so sure now I've looked more closely:
It's on eBay (where else?), item No. 180057959814
Might be getting a bit midschool for next Summer, a bike from each era? This looks a bit more recent, though, looking at the forks & stem.

looks like a master frane
the zippos were really low end with caliper brakes

i reckon mid 90's master, or late 90's zippo (if they ever upgraded the brakes)

the forks have canti lugs. doesnt seem like a master would have had them

I think its just a cheap frame outa china/taiwan
yes it looks like a haro but some of the bits like the hole in the TT brace, and the dodgy plate on the chainstays tells me its a POS

Defo not a Master, see the top tube braces in this 93 piccie.



I'm thinking down the POS route as well???

All these theories are exactly why I wondered what the frame was. When I see cantis on the front, I assume POS. Until I remember some 1" threadless ProLite forks I had once that were pretty good and had canti mounts.
Would a crappy bike have a Tange sticker? And that back brake could be retrofitted, but even some midrange decent bikes come with Tektros.
Guess I'll just have to write to the seller, see if he can enlighten us all.

Must admit, the toptubes and the pierced oval seattube junction are very Haro'like, but the rest of the frame's off-kilter. There's a tube where a plate should be between the toptubes, and the plate behind the BB is all wrong.
I'm dying to know what it is, I'm sure it's not a POS.

i'm with you on the POS theory......are you going to build it up and ride it?

Nah, I've enough on my plate already (or should that be 'in my shed'?). The seller's going to build it up & ride it himself if no-one buys, which I think will be what happens.
I would like to know what it is, though.

its a tange built frame. probably quite heavy but good at the price. its owned by poolysherrif who is a member on here, so you can ask him.

i loked at it, but by the time it has been built up with suitable componenents it would have been too expensive for a non recognisable frame. I too thought it was a late master at first, but i quickly realised it wasnt.
I want to touch ORB
