Sorry, I can't help much. Check the frame material to determine if it's magnetic (=steel). That will help somewhat.
I think that the wishbone seatstay(s) will also help identify.

Custom? Rather Sweetpea-esque when you think about/look at it. That HT space makes me want to weld a gusset in there.
Dunno. Looks like comfortable geometry though.

It's titanium, (the photo names mention Haro, so that's a good bet). The components date it to 1995/1996, although it might be older.
That frame is huge, it's for a rider 6'3" or taller.

Closest Haro that I'd consider would be the Impasse, but it didn't have a wishbone, just an A-frame.
Todd Lyons rode a Haro mtb in 1995, it may have had a wishbone. Trip in the wayback machine.

Huh?
The brake and shift levers are either STX or Alivio, the cranks are Topline, the rear brake is an XT v-brake -while the front is an LX, the headset looks like a very old King without the laser etched logos... etc.
You're 5'7"? Do you have 4" of clearance when you straddle the top tube?

I would say yes, but the Bontrager Ti's that I have seen have a shorter headtube, but... It's as close as I've seen.
$100.00? Ride it like you stole it, because for that price, you did.
