Hi everyone

I am going to buy new mixte frame. I found this one. I dont know what it is, i just have low-res pictures of it. It has nice paint jop and chrome finish on fork-end and drop-outs. I think only strange part of the bike is the top-tube is not end on drop-outs. It is end above the drops. Any quess?

It is hard to tell from the pictures, but from the angle we see the fork and head tube it makes me think that bike may have been damaged in a collision. THe front wheel looks so close to the down tube that the fork or frame may be bent backwards

expect you are going by photo nr. 3. looks to be due to perspective rather than any actual deformation. keep in mind also that we are likely looking at a 650b wheel with a fairly large cross section tyre and a quite large mudguard.

taner rona -

what is your location please?

I am from Turkey. Seller says its all original but i dont think so... Tires and mudguards doesnt seems original. You are saying its 650b? How you figuired it out? Thnx in advance.

thank you for the information. mudguards look larger than they would need to be for the machine's present tyres. perhaps they are not original to the bicycle or perhaps the bicycle originally had tyres of a larger cross section. 650b is only an educated guess on my part - i do not "know."

did not recognise the names of any of the bicycle's fittings which made me think you might be either in "the east" or perhaps latin america so Turkey sounds like a logical answer.

other readers will likely be along shortly to give more helpful input.
