Help identify this frame/pivot!

Posts: 4
I'm trying to replace some parts for a frame I got off Ebay, namely the axles/bolts & bearings for the rear pivot as it's pretty much ceased. The guy I got the frame from know's nothing about the frame and said that the guy he got it from, said it was custom built for a US race. I've found referances to the bearings (HK 1210 needle bearings) on the net but I'm searching for a (preferably online) UK outlet for these and somewhere that can provide the axle/bolts (if that means machining a pair then so be it). Any other suggestions are welcome. Here are some pics of the frame and pivot assembly:

Any insight would be appreciated

IIRC Pimpin Gimp on here has one of those frames and it's apparantly a Muddy Fox of some variety.

looks like a frame that was being pushed around early 2000's by some of the bike companies from some taiwain catalouge.
i think it will be time to vist a engineers shop and get then to knock something out.
oh bearings like that on line. not really get to a bearing shop.

Cheers man. It does look very close. The gusseting on the top tube/seatpost looks a little different. Also the rear triangle looks tubular, mines angular (squareish). My guess is that my frame was modelled on this one. Can you, or anyone else confirm if the pivot I have is identical/similar? Many thanks elmo!

no it does not have anything like that picture Mr Elmo posted.

Apologies. I think I'll be leaving now.
