A friend has been given this old thing and he would like to know what frame it is, whether it was any good once upon a time etc... Looks pretty beefy. Think he'll use it as a pub bike and to mess about on the local dirt jumps. Any ideas?

    Thanks. Sorry, he said he had already googled it but i guess he hadn't looked properly.

    Those forks look a bit too long- I'm surprised it hasn't peeled the headtube off!

    Or is it just a 24" back wheel so the angle is steeper?

    That's what I reckon.

    Chainstay seems level so I'd assume the angle is fine. The 24 would do it too. Not sure why you'd want 26/24 on a jump bike, but then I know nothing about jumps.

    Looks heavy. Seat way to high for a jump bike too :P

    To my eyes, the chainstay looks like it's slightly higher at the BB end - even if it was just level, it would indicate that something is not quite right.
