Yeah, I thought GT because of the rear dropouts and the bit behind the seat. I think the chainwheel is Mongoose (one of them ones with the big picture of a mongoose on it)

It was just about to be taken to the tip, the bloke that took the picture said "Its a Redline Mongoose"

I will find out tomorrow  :2funny:

after careful scrutanising i'm swaying more towards mongoose!

the logo at the top of the drop out looks the wrong shape to be gt, mongoose were stamping a logo there back in the late 90's. the logo on the top of the seat looks mongoose,
if you google an image of a 98 dmc the seatstays are exactly the same shape.

can't pin point the model though. was thinking fuzzy to begin with but can't remember whether it had v brake mounts, which leans me to one of their base models perhaps, menace maybe?

This is the back end of my GT from the 90's, similar but not identical (chainstay brake not seatstay for example). It was a special edition 'Lego Robots' prize model, hi-ten frame, pretty low end stuff really but as it was similar I though I'd post these pics:
