I have no clue what frame this is, the only make on this thing is an "M" on the BB where I would expect the Serial number to be.

The only real clue to it's make is probably the really weird rear brake cable stop on the rear seat stay. I've never seen one like that before. The bottom bracket is English. Who knows if the fork is stock or not.

If you have any clue what this thing may be PLEASE leave a comment.

I bought it off a nice older gentleman off Craigslist, for fairly cheap. He said he'd gotten it at a garage sale. There is no evidence that this frame's been stolen and the serial ground off and then repainted.

I'll keep the frame in good condition and ride it around as a fixed gear until I can afford to equip it as a geared bike for cyclocross. Just to give it a try, looks to be fun.

That's a real good picture man, works great with the colors and composition. What kind of headlight are you running? Seems to be quite a searchlight!

Headlight

It's just the Planet Bike Blaze 1 watt.

It works pretty good, esp for the price I got the combo for. It's just barely enough light to ride pitch black trails, anything less and I'd have to go pretty slow. The battery life has been good so far as well. It's not the brightest thing in the world, but it'll do for a while.

is sick, good job!
