The misterious d.R.u.g. MTB frame for sale

I am gonna try to sell a recently discussed mountain bike frame here (viewtopic.php?t=386661). I have tried eBay, but someone messaged me suggesting I try retrobike forum instead, because here you can find dedicated people who know a lot about vintage MTB. All I know about this frame so far is:

1. It's not made from carbon fiber, because it weights around 2kg
2. Cable stops aren't welded. They seem to be riveted (if it's the correct way to say) therefore the material could be magnesium
3. There is some sort of serial number on the dropout (didn't find any info)
4. The frame has lugs, but they seem to be made out of different material then tubes
5. Seatpost diameter is 28,6 mm

I can't really tell the price for this exact frame, but it looks pretty well made and unusual. Since all adverts need a price, let's say its 200 GBP or best offer. If someone is interested or knows anything about this frame, do not hesitate to contact me or express yourself in other ways.

You can find me in Lithuania.
It would cost me around 25 pounds to ship the frame if that’s the concern. Possibly more if shipped overseas.
 
Re:

Thank you for your time. It seems very similar to me, but the dropouts and the headtube are different. Some sort of metal is also seen peaking from the chipped paint, so I assumed it can’t be carbon.
 
Re:

My first reaction was a Polyfilled Miyata....but it's not. Second was a Cannondale, but as far as I know they weren't into screwing frames together.

I'd guess something French or Italian, something a bit one off from a road specialist???????

not Italian.

I like the certainty! Thinking about it more, no respectful class Italian frame builder would dream of drilling a hole in the top-tube and plonk in pop-rivet to hold a cable guide. It would need to be welded or go concealed.

Atleast the Miyata cable guides are held on with two pop-rivets.
