Hi All

I Picked up a titanium frame, with a carve carbon wishbone style rear stay. Its bare metal, non replaceable dropouts, 1 inch steerer frame, and cable guides mounted outside of the head tube. Ive attached photos, and the serial stamped Left to Right on the BB 0R0070036


it looks a lot like an il mossimo frame, or early litespeed.
i think Nashbar have a similar serial, as does salsa

any assistance would be amazing, I can add any photos that might help. There are no other identifying marks or stickers

Can't post photos until you have at least 10 posts.
Could it be stainless steel? Massimo?

Frame builders could Buy the carbon wishbone style rear stay, made by another company,
and incorporate it into the metal work they did..

Well...you already bought it.

Beware bonded hybrid-material frames. They tended to have longevity issues.

yeah I did haha, what do I have to have to look out for? It seems ok now, do the joints fail?

and yeah ive discovered that annoyance, ill asd photos as soon as I can

Over time most of them tend to come unbonded, in most cases since the CF is the rear and the metal is the front....the rear forks come out of whatever lug they were bonded into.

Being early Litespeed, increases the chance of a problem.

Im not 100% tbh, its welded, not lugged, it doesnt appear to be magnetic, there is no obvious sealant on the frame, scratches are the same colour as surface. No rust or corrosion is obvious. The whole thing weighs around 1650g not including the fork. Ill uoad photos as soon as the forum lets me

II hope these help, i spoke to nash. And they couldnt ttell me anything about their early stuff. So still at square 1

cheers guys

Uh....There appears to be a headbadge. Photo?

So, the OP should probably keep some duct tape in the seatbag?

x2 on the headbadge thing.

Duct tape is for people who don't know what they're doing. Gaffer tape, OTOH is for us professionals....who may well not know what we're doing.

Well, I was going to suggest zip ties and tire levers.

its a Melburn fixie sticker, pretty sure "aftermarket"
