Name my Frame please

[newleafdecor]

Hi people, I've had this frame for about 16 years, I bought it built as a full bike second hand back in the day, parts supplied did nothing to identify it as it looked like aftermarket stuff. The main tubes have the easton logo stamped on them, although its been polished that much over the years the logo has nearly disappeared. Tubes to rear are all squared off which I've never seen on anything else quite the same. Frame on its own weighs just over 1600 grams. Number on bottom bracket shell is F95050349 which doesn't tell me anything. I'm certain its american built with the easton tubing, it hasn't got a replaceable derailleur hanger, how old could this make it? Any ideas on what the frame could be?[/img]

Its a start redhat, I didn't mention on my original post that on the dropout were my quick release grips it look like its stamped ALFTO, pretty damn close if you ask me, just going to learn spanish, give me a year of two!

Pirineos is so close David, only minor differences like the cable guides on the seat stay and the rear brake guide seems slightly different.

It's ringing bells but I can't place it yet. Geometry looks way off the Alkons IMO - plus different dropouts, no built in seatpost binder...

Very close Dave, I think we are on the right brand just need to find the model, I can spot a few more differences than you, think mine a wee bit newer than that model but close. Gotta be a high end model with the Easton tubes used.
