Alright all - got the chance of this bike from a local recycling place. The guy thought it was a redline as theres a badge (sticker) on the headtube but I'm not convinced - gusset aint right for starters I don't think. The only distinguishing feature is that the small gusset under the downtube has three holes in it It reminds me of a falcon pro or something but I dunno. The welds are neat and the ping test says its got decent tubes. Parts are a mish mash as you can see - couple of suntour bits and an ashtabula part according to the dude. Forks are bizarre almost totally flat bladed and defo not original I don't think. Only serial # is on the dropout but my pics are rotten so can't decipher it now (doh) started with a D tho

Anyway...your thoughts..POS or what?

Cheers

Like Oberonspacefruit said... you'd get £15 to £20 for the seat alone ... plus £15 for the stem (suntour?) .... depends what the bars are as well - probably worth the £50 for the parts alone - anything less is a bargain!

Sounds like it might be worth a punt...I'll find out how much they want and take it from there..

Not convinced the stem is a suntour or the bars CW though.
