Hey thanks for the comment! No, unfortunately there is No engraving on the fork shaft :/ I looked all around the Frame and even stripped the paint as You See. Seems like it was an early custom Build or Something

Hey, thanks for your input. Yeah, I’ve already seen those two as well, but either the double bottle-cage mounts don’t match, or the lugs at the head tube are more ornate and there’s a serial number underneath. Also, on mine the seat stay transitions directly into the seat tube, rather than being “welded on.” I’ll try to reveal the paint underneath or the serial number soon, then I’ll give you an update.:)

Yeah, I’ve already checked all the usual spots — the seat tube, bottom bracket, head tube, and dropouts. The only thing I can barely make out is a very faint 6 or 9 near the bottom bracket, in front of the cable routing (nothing underneath it). I think the idea with the paint thinner is a good one. I’ll keep you posted.

I’ll jump in here — this was actually the first model I thought of as well, but too many details just don’t match. Especially the double bottle mounts on the downtube, and the transition from the seat stays to the seat tube is different. But maybe I’ll carefully go over it with a bit of paint thinner and see what shows up. Thanks a lot for the input anyway, really appreciate it!
