    It's a Ms Isle like it shows in the lower picture! The way the top tube comes out of the oversized downtube is a dead giveaway.

    Yep. Early Ms Isle from the late 1990's. Rim brakes but someone has replaced the forks to fit a disc brake.

    Just realised the bottom picture is a different bike as it has a disc brake fitted. It also clearly shows Ms Isle on the top tube and yet the OP asks what bike it is!
