The closest I got was Falcon?  There are no marks what so ever apart from a number on the headset.  It was originally white, so may powdercoat and build into a rider.

Defo not an ammaco team pro, the only similarity is the gusset. Team pro welds are tight and nice and the drop outs are tottaly different. I've got one right here.

The gussets had me thinking of my old Falcon Theta, as was ciaoflyer maybe. But the welds on that weren't bad at all, as I recall.
The folded dropouts are interesting, anyway.

I think it is a cycle pro, Vertgo has an identical seat clamp as mine for sale and it is a cycle pro.  Also this is very similar:

The welds on that cycle pro are astounding compared to the welds on this one..

Well I have come to the conclusion that it ir either a Cycle Pro, Falcon or a piece of s**t.  Either way I am going to build it up for a rider.  I do have some handle bars that came with, look like CW's will post pics soon.
