    I think it might be an old Kraken, has standard Merida drop outs.

    Agree it's a Merida almost for certain.....cable run looks wrong for the older Kraken which routed the brakes above the top tube and the headtubes tend to be more compact.

    Either way it's a reasonable but not great frame! Weight wise about 1750g depending on paint weight.
    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.
