Well its certainly fitted with ritchey components, but sadly it's a fairly basic aluminium alloy frame. Most likely mass produced. The dropped toptube is fairly distinct, khs did that, the Alite, and a good few others.
For £50 it's a good build kit for a nice late 90s steel frame

all needed information is on your picture ...
It's a Steppenwolf (like on the frame protection, just typically this should been mounted on the chain side
), a German brand.
The model is Timber (the decals is still there).

Just an basic bike, not very interesting to collectors or real bike fans, so i do agree to the value estimate above.

Can it play Born to Wild?
That would up the price significantly.

actually the only thing I do think is cool at those Steppenwolf bikes is the name itself!Can it play Born to Wild?

It reminds me less on the rock band but rather to the nice Hermann Hesse novel.

Did they actually paint them in the factory with a rattlecan?
