Chunky cold forged cranks and some curious branding. Surely someone has got a bit eager with the vinyl stickers...right?

Bit small, wonder what the frame is? I'd have taken a punt if I'd seen it sooner. Some interesting parts.

The saddle is also branded d.r.u.g. , so maybe it’s a legit brand name

I've got it here, still non the wiser, it's a nice frame though, the 3 main tubes are twisted or some kind of weird external butting?
It feels like it should be fairly light, sadly not got it fully stripped yet to weigh it as the threads in the non drive side crank are gone

 

[trailstar82]

Oh no, in the old days we used to ride around until the crank arms dropped off

The ritchey dropouts were really interesting when I saw it listed.

 

[sam_white]

Those Ritchey dropouts might give some clue. Side cable routing on the top tube is also a little unusual.

Ended now.

 

[jimo746]

Ooh is that not some kind of Columbus fluted tubing?

 

[Bob]

Any ideas and suggestions welcome, closest thing I've found so far is another similar off brand frame but it only had the down tube spiraly.

Yeah, these bikes were made in a wormhole from another dimension obviously, that's why the tubes are twisted.
