Super Mystery Aluminum Frame -please help I.D.

Bassboom

Retro Newbie
Hi,

First time post here and would love help ID-ing this frame.

I've been into MTB's since '89, and truly love '90's hardtail bikes: Kona, Klein, Orange, Specialized, Bontrager, Mountain Goat, Merlin, Manitou, Trek, Cannondale etc. Used to collect brochures and buy MTBUK every month.

I picked up this frame, and have been doing as much research as i can, and have found nothing!

Please disregard the components, as it has been 'bicycle recycled'.

Here are the photos, and I will point out its unique features.

Aluminium.
Cables run over the top-tube, but the bit that holds the cable has been screwed/bolted on -not welded.
Cuboid/square tubing on the chain and seat stays.
Wishbone seat-stays, with solid machined aluminium 'fork' section.
Gusset on the head-tube down-tube connection.
Replaceable de-railer hanger.
No serial number anywhere to seen, and looks looks it never had one.

I can provide more photos and answer questions the best I can.

Hi and welcome to the forum! Rear drop outs are similar to the ones used Ventana but the rest of the frame is not.

For what it seems the aluminum is 7000 series.

I am sure other members will be able to decode more of it characteristics as I have seen similar frames being sold here.
