Is this frame really crap or really good?

[orange71]

I can't make up my mind... I suspect the former though :roll:

Utter s*ite

The welds around the dropouts tell you everything

Errmm?? :?

Crap!......but it might make a cheap single speed to have a play with and use as a pub bike.

 

[orange71]

that's what I figured. I think the paint made it look better than it is...

 

[gump]

looks like the first gen Raleigh Mustang/Maverick frame with OS BB etc

utter poo

Is that the original paint colour? As the Raleigh Amazon (my first MTB) was eaxctly that colour!

edit: Those early cheap Raleighs would be better quality than that, they were built like tanks! And they were Lugged....

The Maverick 15 was designed by Gerald O'Donovan. It might have been made of HTS but it was handmade and lugged and was a surprisingly capable off road bike.

The Mustang (and the five speed Maverick with caliper brakes) however is a different matter.
