Workmate found me this today....
Mongoose headset
S&M pedals
DNA cranks and sprocket
Frame gusset has HB on it with a star shape inbetween the HB....What does that stand for?
I think it was originally pink underneath the crap respray!

I think that the stamp means it was made in the far east.

It looks like a TAJ frame, going on the seat stay wishbone style
