Hi guys,

I've got a frame here I'm trying to ID that I've been really struggling with that hopefully someone may be able to help me out with. Now normally I keep quiet on forums and find my information in the library of past posts but it's not been so easy for this. The only clues I have for this frame is an S&M sticker on the front that's been put on wonky and the fact it had Ruption forks on but I've followed these leads and not found a full match unfortunately.

Someone has brought up that it could be a Ruption Chogger but after googling it doesn't appear to be and I've looked through hundreds of S&M frame pictures and can't find a match there either so I'm relying on some help please.

This is the frame in question




















The serial number starts with GHI then 7 numbers I think.
Thanks for having a look and hopefully someone can enlighten me.
Any help is really appreciated.
Cheers

Off the top of my head the rear Dropouts look like powerlite.  The 990 lugs and dt size shouts late 90s

JC_Cool:
Hhmm, interesting. Thanks for that, I will look into this.

The dropouts are definitely a strange shape, I did notice them when comparing to others online that they didn't match anything I looked at. Strange that there seems to be no stamps at all either apart from the serial number.

Cheers

I agree... deffo a Powerlite.  :daumenhoch:

Jaymz:
Generally powerlite are stamped on the drop outs with their P logo. I can't say I've seen one that doesn't have it. But that does t mean they aren't out there. Late 90s powerlite starting putting out a fair few different models and im no expert.
