Weird Extralight beast

[TreaderSteve]

New to me as to the seller too. Tubing? 'Star Bar' U.S.E. seatpost rip-off? XC Pro and Expert? What say you lot?

I believe Extralight are/were Italian in origin... As for the title I am two of those...

I think they were Italian, but that's Extralite, which is different from this. And the toptube is normally where the model name would go, rather than the manufacturer. The headtube has a Porsche logo...??

I did get ungraded in English at skool...

Was watching the seller for the pedals off the Bear Valley if it’s cheap enough! Very local to me.
Sakae Liteage Titanium bars on that “Extralight”. Odd mix of components like the Campag headset say that’s a better frame than it looks? The single side cantilever bridge on the rear could be a clue?

 

[KermitGKona88]

Definitely think it is something nice, think the forks are a much later addition...

The single sided rear canti hanger is a pretty rare touch. Had that on a Hardisty frame (sort of Lee Cooper type build) though that also had a funky seat binder set up.

I forgot to mention the Sakae Ti bars but missed the Campag headset! I've asked them to post a better picture of the tubing logo.

Decals seem to match (same tubing?) He is/was based a stones throw away from Hardisty, actually. And as far as I remember there was a connection...
