Looks like an old Orange Elite [the first version back in 90]? A mate had one..

Evo 1 1/4" headset too..?
 
The canti seat stay bridge at the back, genewral feel and look would suggest an early Marin Indian Fire Trail. Forks look right too.

Could be wrong.
 
Thanks...checked out Marin catalogues in archive...butting etc looked right but cables on downtube ?
 
i agree with radar. whats the sticker at the top of the seat tube say? i used to sell marins, thats where they had their frame stickers..
