That would have been my third guess  :daumenhoch:

I would say no - I also checked that when first sniffing:

http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/falcon/'model=499

1) drop outs have 3 holes verses the Falcon's 2
2) the Falcon has rear platforms as part of the frame
3) the Falcon has similar gap between top tube and down tube. The eBay frame's gap is way too small to be either a Kuwahara

Okay, you could easily fix 1 & 2 to make it look more like a Kuwahara (or Falcon) but 3 is the give away..

Still a mystery in my books..

Okay, but what gives it away as non-Kuwahara?  I can see why it is not an Exhibitionist but what says non-Kuwahara?

The only twin tube freestyle Kuwahara to my mind was the exhibisionist and this isnt one .. the seller really needs to add a few more decent photos and describe it for what it is ...

The Burner King:
Maybe the droputs were plain and they've been drilled in to make it look like a kuwi? That frame looks like it's been powdered so this could be the case.

WizardWeb:
Meteorlite did some very Kuwi-type frames. Poss same supplier as Falcon? Either way, they've cut off the rear framestands...
