i came across a stripped frame with an arya737612 serial #. it is a decent weight with nicely shaped lugs, however before i build it, i would like to find out a bit about the metal, if possible, that was used to build them, and if its worth it or not to make a nice bike out of it. it is a 26in mtb style with 130mm rear triangle and 1in headtube.

any info would be greatly appreciated.

barrett
