this was the frame i owned for a short while, would say it is one and the same as your frame.

from what i know, if it is one of the Merlin frames or the same/similar frame made for someone else it is mass produced and generic, , you will have a hard time finding out exactly what it is,this is not to say the frame is crap or low quality
again im no expert but i understand that a lot of these frames were made in the same factories that turned out frames for the big boys, marin kona etc etc

different drops outs tho, but as stated Merlin had different suppliers over the years
