Can you identify this bike?

Picked up this bike off Gumtree for £30 but haven’t a clue what it is. Seems to have some okay components than most bikes I’ve seen advertised so thought I’d give it a go and see if anyone here can identify it.

Appears to have a triangular shape sticker under the seat post if that gives any indication what it could be!

unfortunately found half a seat post stuck inside the frame and some damages around the seat clamp.

I can't help identifying it, but, there does seem to be a nasty looking crack in the top of the seat tube.

Yeah! It’s defiantly not in a good state. Seems like the seat post for stuck and the previous owner has hammered it all the way into the frame. Damaging it at the same time!

Looks a lot like one of the merlin cycles frames , possibly the remnants of a tange ultimate decal on the seat tube.

Sunn..?

Sunn..?

Sunn isn’t a bad shout for the frame - cable stops, hanger and dropouts all look good however I don’t recall them ever using a ‘big fork’ (assuming it’s original to the bike) as they used the skinny spinner type.
I agree the diamond shape looks like a Tange decal but an Ultimate frame doesn’t sit with having rack mounts or the low-end components…and those bolted in wheels!
Photo is of a low end ‘94 Sunn, like I said the frame looks good so a possibility if the forks and pretty much every component has been swapped out at some point.
