It looks like a lot of frames but I can tell you it's not vintage, more mid school. My first thought was Mosh but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. The dropouts don't look like Mosh

What year did they start using the u brakes?also how long have they been making mosh?

Lack of canti mounts and the basic dropouts with gummy welds leads me to guess late '80's. Looks like a standard size.

Could it be a Robinson or Powerlite?

Im sure you you can tell but its aluminum

wierd!?!? Early Powerlite P-61? p-38?





got any other specs? like is it 1" or larger headtube? is it chrome or alum?

becuase the 1994 powerlites look the most like yours, and were last to have no canti mounts, and first alum's.

its aluminum.1" steer tube.1" seat tube as well.Really beefy.

okey what I notice is that free agent/powerlight went to canti-s for most alum frames, after the chrome

yours fits into the gap, before chrome went to alum, and caliper went to canti

its not a robinson for one, and the headtube/rear dropouts look wrong on the powerlites,

my best guess, it is a free agent, that has had the canti-s cut off, or some pre-prodution

free agent expert/eluder that still used calipers?
