Hi,
Can anyone help me identify this frame?
I believe it’s a chromoly 90’s frame which was picked up in a sale in southern Europe.
Good details and some informative numbering on the bottom bracket .
Please check the photos.

I can't provide a brand or model name, but maybe helping summarizing details.

- It looks like a nickel-plated (often also called titanized or titan-finish) CroMo frame.
Those had been offered by Marin, Scott, Diamond Back, Parkpre, Stevens, Maxx, CATs, Cycle Culture, Magni, Wheeler, Sunn, Morishima and others, also from no-name brands or bike dealers using an own label.
- The SN indicates its from 1995
- The dropouts are nice. To me this looks by this alone already like a better quality frame. Still think those things are standard pieces and used by different manufacturers. For instance there are a bit similar ones i have seen used for Deer or Langenberg frames, but also for other no-name bikes too.

Thank so much for your response, I will continue my research and let you know what I discover.
Do you have any recommendations on how to treat the rusty spots that appear here and there?
And how to discover the tubes used on the frame?
