 :) Appears to be a Meteorlite,they did a few versions-not all with door handles on the chainstays.Not seen a chrome one for a few years.They were also sold as Minerva or Rainbow  frames.

Don't know about the rest of it... but the forks look like they're off a Falcon pro freestyler!!

( Landing gear copies with fork standers welded on )

The frame looks like that  'Snide Haro Gen 1'  that was on here few weeks back... apart from the twin down tubes!!

has almost the same top tubes, same DP style plate at the seat post, same drop outs....

Think some one said that one was an Orion...???

Dunno....???

Not the Kuwi, as the forks look like they have Akisu-esque drops with the retention hole, plus the bologna cuts!
