Please help ID this alloy E-stay

Jamis Diablo · Jul 10, 2017

I just traded this E-stay because of the wheelset and XTR cranks, but am wondering now if the frame is something nice.
It has a little strange mix of parts, DX and XT STI, LX mechs and hubs, M900 cranks with XT pedals. Wheels are 217's.
Frame has an 11/8" headset and a part of a USA decal.
Anyone any idea what it could be?
Cheers all!

Re:

I've just trawled Google as I'm intrigued and could not find a single image of an estay with the same features.

Not many have a straight chain stay to frame angle with the down tube. None I saw had the cable stops like yours either.

Is it an anodised frame? I didn't find any that weren't painted or polished.

The American flag made me think Scott, but again, found no Scott's like yours.

Good luck, I hope you identify it, the cable stops should be a give away I think.

Is this one of those Ozone / Bigfoot frames?

Yes it is anodized, I've searched for these cable stops ànd routes (they aren't very standard too) for quite some time without result.

Deffo not a Bigfoot / Ozone (see signature) but never the less a fair shout.

Nobody spotted the 28" hybrid forks yet

It was set up with one Vbrake and one canti brake, both with the pads on the tire :facepalm:

With a setup like that it could be a British Leyland :facepalm: :facepalm:

Also apart from friction what is holding the seatpost up :?: :shock: :shock:

The seat is locked with chewing gum ;-)
Just kidding, I used the binder for another bike.

Re:

Don't know what it is, but I like it.

I'm sure I've seen those cable stops before but I'm buggered if I can remember where.
