The crude rear cable hanger suggests to me it's a very low-end frame.


Eh? Fastback stays are not found on 'cheap' bikes either so, erm, er, um...?

And quality frames don't have such crude cable hangers :)

The welding on the main tubes looks quite neat, but then the cable hanger & top tube cable guides are really cheap. It's almost like an order was cancelled when the frames were half built (it does look quite like a MF), and so they finished them off as cheaply as possible to try and recoup their costs.

Ishiwata Plain Gauge tubing..
When did you last see a decent frame made from PG pipes?
- a nice looking, stylish, very low-end frame I reckon
