Wierd one this, it has dropouts like a redline but it's definately no redline. I am stumped, it is for sale and no phone number by the ad only bid. So no serial or stamps to help just the vast knowlage of the rad crew.
Looks pretty well built.
somebody must know what it is. :daumenhoch:

looks like one of the many Akisu type generic frames, judging by the pars, i would say it is nothing to get excited about.

don't think so orb, (http://www.jttimmerwerk.nl/images/drop.JPG)  those dropouts tell a different story me thinks. akisu's and those other generics always have basic pressed dropouts not selaed bar ends and a lip. and these fucjers go pretty far up the chain stays and seat stays. really tidy welds, manky bits, but that means nothing. The jmc i got the other day had mud gaurds and a chain gaurd, crap stem, crap bars.

If the downtube is aero it could be a freeway, they did a race frame that looked like that, my mate had one.

That's it, he tried to convince everyone it was a TA just because he put some bubbled wonky decal set on it.

those dropouts do come on akisu frames, I've just boxed up my smartfox and the rear dropouts are identical.....smartfox made by Akisu.
