Went to a car boot sale entirely on a whim (normally in a car but today on a whim) and picked this odd mishmash of parts.

No identifiable paint underneath

Spinner drop-outs on the P2 style/esque ahead forks

old world meeting new with older style DX cantis. low pro 110 BCD LX chainset and a Dia-Compe aheadset.

tapered seat tube

Rounded un-stamped dropouts

DX hubs on Araya RM-17

Turbo saddle

Answer 22.2mm bars with gold shim

Club Roost stem

I'm thinking Trek, but lets see. Excellent condition parts under the fluffy grime!

Embarrassingly small amount paid :oops:

First look made me think 1990MY Alpinestars with the straight forks, but don't think they're spinner dropouts?

Oh and the fact the headset is 1-1/4" on an astar

It kinda says Gary Fisher to me though I don't think it is. Either way it looks like a good find.

Plans for her?

Well, UN72 bb came out as if were put in yesterday so a quick rub down and its Painter's Touch 'Brilliant Blue' for now.
