Frame ID request: Wishbone stays, odd mix
G'morning C&V-
Trying to figure out just what this thing is.
Seat custer is interesting, not sure if it was a low-end machine originally.
The wishbone seat stay is what grabbed my interest for the most part.
Other components are almost certainly non-original.
Any guesses at the make or model?
Thx.

Replacement fork seems "offset"; especially evident when first photo is enlarged.
Be wary of frame damage.

Also, those rear seatstays going into a single tube screams "I'm from about 1990 and I'm low-end".

With the exception of the mono-stay reinforcement, I don't see any signs of lug collars, so it would appear to be TIG welded and therefore likely 1990+. Given the apparent era and features like bosses for two bottles and recessed brake mounts and no fender eyelets, I seriously doubt we're not looking at entry level and hi-tensile. At worst, it's probably a seamed, butted, CrMo frame. Components could be OEM but it's hard to say. There were lots of mid-range models from major brands with mono-stays around this time.
