Can you identify this frame - rear wishbone content

Frame number of the beast is 0H94070490

My Fuquay has a hand stamped '9604' (uneven and looking like each number was stamped individually).

The number on this one is straight and uniform against the non drive side under BB shell.

I don't know what OH means, but that serial is typical of a big factory number. Tempting to think 9407 means July 1994, and 0490 could be an internal control code such as big factories use so that everybody knows what to do with the frame next. But equally it could be the 490th one built and who knows, maybe that could be the way Paul Sadoff does his numbers?

My money would be on a Lobster. Not a Fuquay because it has an integral seat clamp rather than a collar and lacks the bullet end caps on the stays that Orange71 referred to (something Greg obviously liked from his time at Serotta) All the Fuquays I have seen have these traits.

I was going to go for this but unfortunately forgot about it... :roll:

Deffo not a Nishiki either - gusset is different and cable routing too.

James referred me to this thread having seen my Bontrager which has a similar-ish rear wishbone

it's not a bontrager, bontragers dont have ritchey dropouts.

Cheers Kier, the quest to work it out goes on :?

Any chance of a pic of the rear dropouts? Normally I tend to suss out frames from there

Very nice it looks by the way, I was going to have a punt myself but I'm just too small for it..
