Cant identify this frame for some time now!
Some said, it could be Corratec, because there was a logo before repainting, but i doubt it!
Thanx a lot in advance for any help!

    I was trying to understand that, I think its been cropped around the BBish but with chainset in place and the tubes paintshopped back in, without spotting the sharp angle left on the outside!

    Also spot the fact that the non drive side chainstay shows above the drive side back to the inter stay brace, almost like it's been cut off with a hacksaw!

    Welding is rubbish on the interstay braces but the seat stay has a funny shadow on it.

    Does the OP really want this ID'd with all this photoshoopping?

    Looks a bit different to the pic first posted, V-brake bosses have appeared and the seat stay to tube gusset changed shape!

    No Corratec I can find has that gusset.....

    Steel or alloy? Def 1.5"? doesn't really look it.....

    it rings a bell but cant find anything.

    I would be asking on a German Forum as it could well be a frame that did not get to the UK.

    I suppose it is alloy

    At Yahoo someone said:

    This looks like a frame made by Top Image (Taiwan) for Pinnacle, a brand sold by Evans Cycle in London. Whatever it is, it was made in Taiwan or China

    Still cant find it anywhere
