i know the rear drop outs arn't forward facing,just wondered about the gusset.
-
No not a puch i dont think. These frames off the bay, its either me of the blue and white frame has forward facing dropouts and the rear stays are curved at the seat tube. I thought it was an old burner.

seat stays look a bit "team murray"

It all looks abit murray even the flattening of the ends of the stays... Those dropouts just dont seem right or its my eyes. Any clue on the other frame?

Could it be Huffy, kid down our road had one, seem to remember the grifter style rear drop outs, not sure about the fat head tube though!

The gusset looks right, the dropouts look right but the head tube and rear stays at the seat tube dont...

Head tube is definately the fattest i've seen on an old bike, that should give it away, but I have no idea if it's not Huffy.
