Anybody recognize this frame?
I got this from a friend. He wasn't sure if it was an actual Curtlo or not so I emailed Doug Curtiss and sent him pics. Verdict is he did not build this one so it indeed is NOT a Curtlo. There are some interesting things about this frame like the seat tube lug. There is a slot for the brake cable to run through. The frame looks to be well made with nice clean welds. It is also pretty light. The other thing I notice is the seat tube transitions to ovalized where it meets the bottom bracket. I'm kinda thinking this was a nice frame. Maybe not Curtlo nice but possibly a custom build trying to copy certain Curtlo aspects perhaps. I don't know. Does anyone have a hunch on what this is? Mass manufacturer or not, I would like to know. Thanks
EDIT: this is a 1991 Parkpre 925 Team frame. Tange Ultimate Ultralight.
