Bet the frame number starts U3! Will have been made in the Diamondback factory most likely!

Cranks/components etc looked like these before I stripped it. So pretty sure that's what I've got. Will have to dig out the components and look for Shimano date code, unless I can find the frame number.

I'll add that to my watch list, thanks for the recommendation.

I think it's a Carrera Maxima

Anyone have any idea what model this Carrera frame is? Came with fairy basic Altus running gear, 1" headset. I can't find the frame number either! Must be 1994/95/96 vintage. I'm guessing 1995. Will post better pics once I've cleaned it.

If you could share the frame number, it'd be useful. I've a lack of Voodoos on my list.

Be great if you can share the frame number please.

Nope no idea. I've not seen an AFA frame number before. Probably from 2002 though.

Shocked that I never noted the frame number or replied to this thread. Sister frame M5090091 is here: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/what-is-it-stainless-steel-frame.80776/ My best guess would be a UK Merlin. No other positive IDs, but the frame numbers are in the same series as two Rock...

@benjabbi has one. They're nice and lighter than the similar Steel Axis frames.

Are you sure it is a 15 inch frame? The 42 on the bottom bracket may mean 42cm size, which equates to 16.5" - Just an early morning thought.

Did you find a frame number?

The date for your frame is August 1993. Could have been early production for 1994 model year. I expect the 'S' indicates a small sized frame. Not sure about the 4 or 42 numbers but I've made a note for next time!

Both Mongoose and Orange frames were produced in titanium by the A-Pro factory. Unlikely to be an Orange, but maybe a Mongoose?

Frame number suggests April 1993. How is the bike looking? Some fairly rusty patches on her!

What's the frame number? I can probably give you the exact year.

In terms of frame number, from my list your frame is closest to the number for the Prestige bikes - A3030291 is the closest Prestige. The closest P7 is A3050669 and a couple of months later. A3030291 OrangePrestige A3030305LEIGH311272Orange? A3050669 OrangeP7

I certainly could have helped. I don't think it's anything special, so don't feel bad that you missed out.

All the Pantera's I've recorded are Hodaka built with 1991 frame numbers. So all start 'H1'

I've just seen another Barracuda with a Kronos branded stem, so I guess these parts are Barracuda OEM. What happened to the brand? It doesn't appear on the Sports Direct Wikipedia page, but I think Moore & Large went into administration 2022/23
