Ok guys and girls,
the challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to identify the make and model of the frame pictured.
It won't be easy as the picture quality is tragic, and don't be fooled by the wrap on the downtube which says "nirve", I don't think it's a nirve.
Your efforts will be rewarded in good Chi.
It's something I may pick up, but the seller has no clue what it is.

Thanks

    That's easy, its a bike frame......





    Seriously though, better pics and some close ups of detail...

    Giant like to have those bend it at the top chain stays like that.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
  • can the seller not provide any better pics?

    Someone also needs to let him know that he'll not be able to use the bike to jumpstart that car.

    Could be anything, but I'd hazard a guess at it being a rather generic, off-the-peg brand-X HT frame.
  • I know it's tricky, I can get better pics this weekend apparently.
    Until then this is what I have to work with, not bad guesses so far though.
    It'll be interesting to see if anyone's called it when I can get a proper id this weekend.
    Any other ideas........

    That's a Vauxhall Corsa, and whoever was on that bike it hit them so hard that they've left their shoes behind.
