Help me identify Ally frame (with Amp forks)?

[SimonC]

Been asked to look at this for a friend, but all they don't know a lot about it. They were told it was an AMP3 bike - but having contacted Amp Research, they say it's not one of theirs.

Any ideas would be gratefully received...

(it's very light, so I'm assuming aluminium, and the welds are done nicely too – the only mark under the bb is 'L6')

It came with this fork which is where they must have got the Amp reference from...

and these cranks

And the rest was Shimano XTR.

Cheers,

Simon

Are you sure it is aluminium? It looks like titanium to me, the welds in particular. There are some similarities in the fittings to Litespeed fittings, but they're not all exactly the same. Litespeed made frames for numerous other brands, it could be one of those. A picture of the complete frame could help, ditto the serial number.

Looks like a ti frame.

Agree with the above. I'd put my money on it being a Ti Frame.

very neatly welded whatever it is

Thanks for getting back to me - how do you tell if it's a Ti frame?

I'll take a pic of the whole frame if that helps too...

Also, the only mark I could find was under the bottom bracket - L6 - not much to go on, but the 'L' could be for Litespeed!?


Cheers,

Simon

those cable guide clusters look familiar but I can't put my finger on it. +1 for ti BTW.

side on photo of overall frame might help but definitely ti and group and cranks might seem to suggest high end

Here's the complete frame as promised...

I've seen a similar frame - but the cable guides were on the other side of the top tube, I'll post it once I've found it...

without looking at any reference picks, its screaming diamond back at me....
