Canardweb Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I am so bad at this exercise but I swear I have already seen that. I thought it was an Adamant but it's clearly not. Looks kind of like a Zoo Pitbull but I don't think it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Toxsin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) The top-tube kink was much more pronounced in the Toxsin. My first thought - which I'm beginning to doubt - based on the dropouts, hanger, BB yoke and headtube gussets was the original Onza Limey. Can't find any pictures to check against.

Ross McArthur Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 First thoughts was a BT Raven but the top tube was kinked more and cant find a google image of a BT with those dropouts. Second guess would be a Toxin 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Yeah that's a weird one. All of those frames have gone through my mind too but it doesn't quite fit. Yoke looks BT raven but the dropouts are off the shelf Taiwan style... The bend in the top tube has quite a crimp in it for a 'proper' frame too! Perhaps it's a custom build? Any more photos?

Definitely not a Limey, had CNC yokes if i remember rightly. Could be a Bionic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were also on the Limey 1 then I retract my guess because I'm clearly a n00b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even find a photo of an original Limey to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brettoll Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Original Limey was a different yoke.. (pics upside down as I was interested in the dt dents on this one) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 And different dropouts / hanger on the Limey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwtrials Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 🍿🙂 These identify the frame threads are some of my favorite. Frames like this are hard, nothing really sticks out about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Maybe the serial number can help. I recall some brands in mtb used to have their initials in the serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Neither a Magellan, crescent nor a brisa. As AdamR28 said, it could be a BT. I found these pictures of a BT with these off the shelf dropouts... But the frame differs. Maybe a small batch of raven 7.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) My thoughts are that it is either the Echo pure or one of the original Zhi bikes based on the horrific dropouts & slightly kinked top tubes. Both brands then changed dropout style to the ones the top part of the rear triangle sat onto the dropout. It's got to be what 2004 era?

La Bourde Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Sorry, he wrote that the yoke looks like a BT. I extrapolated a little 🙄 The BT were also full of gussets. This is not the case of this frame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldertroll Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Looks like a BT raven 3.0 but I’m struggling to find pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
