Lil red wreck - frame ID?

Re:

There was an IDENTITI frame that looked like that, for the life of me i cant remember what it was called

It's not dissimilar to the very early Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde frames but the downtube is different :? and they had the coffin cut gusset which went all the way to the head tube.

Ok my next guess is the Saracen, xile i think it was called from memory.

Ha ha, no, again the Saracen had a different shaped downtube, bit like the Identiti, and the headtube gusset didn't have a cut out. You can tell I've been searching this one quite a bit

It's very very similar to this one of Mr Ox's - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... it=cortina - which I now think, searching through pinkbike.com, is one of the old Blunt frames sold by Chain Reaction Cycles. Head tube gusset is identical as are the top and down tubes but mine lacks the extra top tube/seat tube gusset and disc mount brace and my chainstay brace is tubular and not flat like that one and the chainstay reinforcements are on the inside of the stays not the outside. I guess they must've been made in the same factory though given the similarities.

Hahaha i'll sit back and wait till you find it now, there were so many different manufactures coming out with little jump frames back in those days. It looks awesome and kind of makes me want to build one of mine up

Do it! We'll need pics

Bike is long gone now but thanks to a reawakened trials/slalom interest due to an incoming new project (watch this space ) I've finally managed to identify it so thought it worth updating.

There you go Viper B52 Bomber which iirc were sold by Woolly Hat Shop bitd
