Please help Identify this frame.
Sorry about the quality of the pics. Best I could get. But I found this online and I have no clue what brand it is.
Please give it a shot. But I dont have a clue. I thougt it was a bare knuckle but the front fork is diff than a BK.
Give it a shot.

Looks like a steamroller fork. Then again tons of frames come with that same fork. In fact, that fork is the least helpful bit cause it's a bog-standard fork. It might be a steamroller though, look at the track ends, and compare them to a pic of steamroller track ends, steamrollers have weirdo track ends.(God that sounds awkward, can we just call them drop-outs?)

Yeah I was thinking repainted but the crankset and headset are different than on the bikesdirect model, so Im thinking its more likely that he just got the frame alone and later added the components. Definitely looks like a kilo though, from the welds, tubing, geometry and fork.

Did you see this on Austin craigslist? It's definitely a Kilo. But it does have an aerospoke!
I think it's funny that the guy tried to claim it was a custom made frame. uh huhhh
