Top of the range Wheelers (popular brand in Germany & some Western countries) looked similar, made of Ti back in those days. Far east origin most likely, anyway, it's a nice one, enjoy and look no back to its humble roots!

Aaah Wheeler, yes I see those here in the Netherlands quite often too. Some of them are indeed high end specced and solid bikes :) Did not know they even made titanium frames, will look closer at those if I can find some pictures. Thanks for that.

Humble roots or not, I do not care. Am so happy I have a Ti frame. E200,- for the whole bike, that is more than a good deal I would think :D

Weight of the frame is also an indication, in the 1500/1700g range for an L/50cm frame pretty sure it's Ti
