It's eBay Id time! Any ideas what this frame is. Seems a very steep head angle?

No idea what it is!

But I'm more baffled that it has no rear disc or v-brake mounts. Very odd.

Probably a fixie at some point in it's life.

I'm more baffled by the decor, has the bike time travelled back to 1970?

I wondered whether it's a Jones or a Dirt Jumper of some sort?

It was posted before to ebay as a frame only.

From memory it was a custom far east frame that read as though it was sent incorrectly incomplete/unfinished.

I'm sure it was mega cheap as a frame only as I briefly looked at it as I have a Ti wizard locally and was building up a small bike.

Looks rather like a Stooge MK2/3 (minus the seat brace).

Edit: as tazzy said similar

No rear brake mount 😀

I remember seeing this on eBay months and months ago, clearly everyone is smart enough to clock its basically useless.

Ah but you haven't bought it! I was briefly tempted too 🙂

White Industries eno fixed hub (or a welder) seem to be the only real options.

So wrong, it's almost right.

A brakeless Ti MTB Fixie is an itch I didn't ever have until 10seconds ago
