Frame ID help anyone??

Just saw this posted on the Dallas Craigslist. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what frame or make it is? there is pretty much nothing to go by except the picture. Im assuming since it doesnt have a brand anywhere on it that it is some kind of el cheapo taiwanese job but any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't recall the "brand" but there was a thread about that frame a while back and the general consensus was that they're crap.

No...the thread was from last year. Visps don't have staggered seat stays. I recall the name of the company being two dudes' names or initials. Their site had all kinds of dayglo colors on it and pics of one of the guys busting fat skidz and ****.

Get it. Don't. Whatever. This frame probably rolled off the line and was stacked right next to a AL Cervelo and a myriad of other bieks.

btw, OP, regardless of the stupid video and offset seatstays, it looks like a standard cro-mo fixed gear frame.

if you are concerned about getting "some kind of el cheapo taiwanese job" then i got news for ya, you are going to have to expand your budget beyond $100 for a frame, fork, bars, crank, bottom bracket, and pedals. if you like that frame then it is a decent price for the items listed, but you are not going to find anything that ISN'T mass produced in an eastern factory unless you are willing to spend several hundred more.

Backward Circle - brought to you by the same jackasses who make Black Flys sunglasses. Hooray for bull**** Orange County Sublime-wannabe culture.
