Mystery bike. Trying to identify.

Hello.
I’ve found this bike which I have no idea how to I.d.

Is there anyone who could shed some light on this please?

There was a fashion for complex dh- style bikes in the late 90s by catalogue brands, some ran into the 2000s.
You'll often find the same frame with a variety of stickers on.

It's kind of fun and historic, but need a strong dash of irony

Land a big jump on that and you could push the earth out of its orbit!

Joking aside....i bet it is infinitely better than the awful looking cr@p with backwards fitted forks, mag wheels and no-name components being pumped out of China , these days.
Throw a few inexpensive yet better quality bits onto the Craft USA bike and it will make some nearly indestructible fun for kids to smash about on.

Thanks both for replying.
It’s on FBMP for £50. Ono.
I recently bought an old Dawes Edge & a Specialized Hard rock for £40 & £35 respectively. Both ride very nice. I haven’t been ‘corrupted’ by new bikes as I haven’t rode anything since 2004…
Very happy with both as I’m trying to get fitter in my late fifties on a very tight budget.

Just came across this strange bike & it called out to me for some reason.
Nostalgia is a hell of a thing at my age

Should I buy it for myself or will I look a bit silly?

I think the two bikes you have already purchased are more suitable and much better. Spend your money on them

these were sold by sports direct. I remember wanting the forks for a cafe racer build. they were awful as you can imagine.

leave it where it is, it isn't worth 50 quid.
