Help with a frame identification?
A friend has a no-label conversion (aluminum, vert dropouts) that has a diamond cross section down tube. The serial number starts with "IF"
Any ideas as to the make?

That was my first guess, but I know nothing about them. This frame doesn't look like anything special, kinda Trek-ish with ugly welds.

AFAIK, I.F. doesn't/hasn't done anything other than steel and the rare ti frame. Never heard of them doing any alu stuff, even as one off jobs. I'd highly doubt it's an I.F.
