Picked this up today off an old mate of mine from years ago, loads of tat was thrown in for me to look at ......only things that were in there of any good was some twin top bars and a DC MX seat clamp in silver the rest were mainly mid/new school levers etc

Anyway there was this DB frame in there which he'd build up with some mid/new school forks (threw some spare forks in too) but not sure what model it is, anything I need to look at or take a photo of to decide? I know the serial number started with F4.........
