Yeah, we know what it looks like, but it only half looks like yours. 1997 Bontrager Ti is what's in the pic... Not what you have.

It's missing too many Bontrager characteristics -- like the gussets under the top and down tubes. It's also missing the weld under the seat cluster where the seatpost sleeve is welded to the seat tube. Head tube isn't machined either.

But it was probably manufactured by the same company that built Ti frames for Bontrager -- Sandvik, now known as Titanium Sports.

Agreed, that's about as close as you're going to get, but the head tube and the wishbone is off. I'd say that it's a custom/one-off. Still a good deal if it fits you.
