ok, this is the bike im peddling at the moment. any ideas of what kind of frame this is or where it might come from? bought it at a LBS here in southern Mexico, but the kids working there have no ideal they just say, "um, the distributor brings those about twice a year".[IMG][/IMG]

That frame is pretty distinctive...I know someone here has got to know .

Interesting frame...............can you post some detail pics of the lugs and rear dropouts? If the kids say "the distributor" drops them off that kinda implies a new bike. If thats the case...............find out who the distributor is and ask him.................then send me one in 52cm!

hmm, well... it seem to be tig welded, so no lugs. the dropouts, well... hmmm. they were horizontal dropouts like you see on older frames, but they were cut off by the original owner who made it a fixie, he welded on some home made track ends. the bike shop has a yellow 52 complete bike for 150 bucks, interested? you would have to ship it from Chiapas...
