Horrible photo but anyone have a guess?
Looks like a Rolls saddle?
And obviously fork is on backwards.
edit: seller says its a Diamond Back

Is the fork backwards or is it a straight bladed fork that's bent? It looks like a sharp transition and too far up the blade to be normal fork rake. It could be an early 1990's Diamond Back road bike. You can't tell much from that pic.

It is red, but with those forks it's got wheel overlap - not toe overlap. A great bike for left hand corners only ????

It does look like a diamondback, but it doesn't look in the best condition. Don't pay too much.
