Looks like an old Ammaco/Mongoose chainring...the frame is a mystery though...any closer pics?

That is the only pic, I agree with the chainring, I'm thinking the drop out looks like a Patterson Pro or long, it also has a high seat tube - here's hoping anyway, I've chanced the purchase.

Definately a Patterson frame and probably a 'long', can't make out the forks. Nice one, did you get a good price?

That's what I'm thinking, the price was daylight robbery if it is a Patty at $25, but the shipping from Canada is the part I'm chancing on, surface mail is US$ 145 and a sweaty 8 week wait.
