    Help identifying frame please

    I can’t see any logos on it, will check again tomorrow. The drop outs are quite unique too I thought.

    Help identifying frame please

    Bought this frame as it was local, cheap and looked interesting. No idea what it is, but the area behind the bottom bracket is what peaked my interest. It’s a top pull front mech, the welds look pretty good and clean, it looks like it may of had a badge glued/stuck to the head tube originally...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    After spending some time getting some V-brakes, cables etc, then spending this morning fitting them and setting them up, I pretty much have finished the Kirk! Had to order a new 44T chainring as the one fitted to the crankset I bought was bent, I knew this when I purchased it and was hoping I...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    I ride it before dismantling it. I checked it over for cracks before purchasing, looked for a solid 20mins. It rides fine, I’d never take it off road it’s more for just cruising round the streets as the Scott is not great for that sort of thing. If the frame cracks, I’ll just buy another...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    So as the handlebars I want to use don’t fit the ibeam stem I had to get a different one. Got it changed over, fitted the bars along with the XT shifters/brakes I got for a bargain price and obviously some grips. Projects on hold for the moment just because I’m extremely busy with work so...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    Put the wheels on today, the original front mech (LX) an XT rear mech, both have been cleaned, checked and lubed. Seat post and a retro Tioga saddle I snagged off of EBay. Fitted some rainbow/oil slick bolts, QR levers and went to fit the handle bars to discover if ordered the wrong size for...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    Started building the frame up today. Only the headset, forks and a Club Roost Ibeam stem, oh and seat post clamp because it takes a few seconds to slip on 😂 Forks are some old Indy C’s I had laying around. Not the best fork in the world, but after a service and a clean, they’re back to their best.

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    Spent today cleaning some retro wheels. I got some 32hole Araya rims that have been mounted to some Polestar hubs. Wasn’t sure what to do about tyres but remembered I had a pair of aggressive 2.3s that were originally on the Scott that I switched for more road friendly ones. I put those back on...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    Yeah something like that. Injection moulded frame, the brake mounts, dropouts and rear hanger are all bolted on and the threads for the BB are bonded in. It’s quite a bit of engineering for the 90s

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    Well I stripped the Kirk frame down, the shifters didn’t work, the brakes were past saving, the rear wheel was grooved from rear pad wear and I had to use an angle grinder to the cranks off, but here is the painted frame. My daughter chose the colours (she’s 5) and I hope to pass the bike on...

    90s Kirk revolution and bonus Scott

    Having been into MTBs in the 90s (before I could drive) I had a Trek 830 antelope which was stolen, replaced with a Carrera then I bought my first first Scott vertigo comp which I sold (and regretted ever since) so when one came up for sale 10 years ago, albeit a later one with snd Ali rear...
