frame id help?

I've got a road bike frame that's pretty beat up, but feels pretty light to me. I was thinking of trying it out and was curious if anyone had any idea of what it might be. I'm pretty sure the bb is english and the seat post is 26.6. I'll try to add a link to some pictures, thanks.

Is that seat stay crushed in the last photo?

There is a dent in the seatstay, but I think it's not that bad. There are some other dents. Good eye!

just wanted to add that the dropouts are suntour (gt I think). Didn't see any serial numbers anywhere. The long head tube lugs with the v cutouts seem kind of unusual, and I've not found any pictures of similar ones yet. I'll try to weigh it, but it feels light, and the tubes "sound" light to me.

Well I weighed the frame at 4 lbs, so whatever it is and despite the dents, I think I'll give it a try.

I didn't think I'd come back to this thread, but I found another frame, a shogun, that has similar lugs to the one I was trying to identify. The shogun is more of a touring and much heavier frame, but the head lugs look similar, except for the cutouts. Anyway, I have no idea if this means the other frame is likely a shogun but I'll try to add some pictures and a link in case anyones interested
