An old mystery bike returns - A sort of Flying Rhino / Rhino 3 - What is it?

<< < (2/5) > >>

fatalan:
Thanks for the welcome.  I will drop Lee a message and get myself turned around on this one.  As my first build I am a bit nervous marching into uncharted territory with an element of the unknown.  I am half tempted to assemble a bike based on just collecting nice bits.  I can always swap the frame at some point in the future. 

fatalan:
Site supported - done!  Time to get building  :D :D (providing this purchase all goes okay of course - if not I will be frame searching!)

Mikku:
Looks like a nice frame regardless of what it is, so if the price is right, I'd say buy it! & since it'll be your first build, you needn't be as worried about making a balls-up as you would have been were it a real Rhino! Keep us posted with a build thread if you do buy it! Welcome to Rad!! :daumenhoch:

Message insectbones (Lee) he's got a very similar if not the same frameset... he's spent a while trying to identify his.. he may have some info for you.  :daumenhoch:

 :welcome to Rad fatalan.  ;)

Yea, what the fook is going on with that seat tube on the Hawk? It looks a nice frameset and the chrome looks mint. The key to whether it is half decent quality or not would be the weight...does it feel light? bit hard to guage...most frames feel light without parts . I am sure some others could offer some weights of some cromoly race frames and if you are able to weigh yours it could be an indicator of whether it is cromo or not  :-\

oldscool:
No idea what it is but the welding looks neat.
