Help identify frame


Dan Novikov

Recommended Posts

Also thought Trek but doesn't have a pivot on the axle ( APB from trek ) so no likely , also doesn't have the weird shape of rocker the older superfly's had.

Then also thought Intense but doesn't have the counter rotating links for VPP.

 

Maybe whyte but then the rocker is also not the shape I would expect 

 

Headtube badge will answer all of this very quick

I don't know what I am talking about re design of full sus MTB's brand vs brand

BUT the finer details on the drop outs reminds me of my Mongoose HT

Also the welding detail looks very much the same

Looks like a Rumblefish, but that's off the top of my head will have a check around xD

To me, it’s white, definitely a dual suspension and probably aloo-me-num with an English 68mm BB thread. No bottle cage bosses, so possibly a very small frame size. 😊🤣

I probably as helpful as t.i.t.s. on a bull.

It looks so familiar, like it's on the tip-of-my-tongue... but I cannot recall exactly what it could be.

Closest I could thinko of is a Kona Satori...

but the Satori was a 29er, and certain details like pivots on seat stays (vs chain stays), thru-axle, etc are also not quite right.

Looking at the frame in question and based on certain characteristics (26", IS mount rear brakes, no ISCG tabs, 135mm QR axle, head-tube diameter), I'd say this frame is circa 2009 - 2012.

 

Damnit this is gonna bug me!

Completely agreed
Has been bugging me for a while, I dont think its from a major manufacturer, have combed through pretty much all of their approx 2010 bikes, and found nada

On another note, I found this, which looks super cool

Not a Rocky Mountain? 🤥

Good to see you are sharing your opinion on a bike and have some of the facts....

It kind of reminds me of an older intense, but not sure

Does resemble the Intense 6.6 to a certain degree
