Mystery monocoque full suspension bike

[Canuckbiker]

I'm thinking to buy this even just for parts but wondering if the frame is anything special or just a budget Mountain Cycles knock off, any idea's?

It would need to be very, very cheap though. Low quality parts throughout.

Makes me think of a CBR which is a catalogue type bike though its reminiscent of a saracen

Yeah, Saracen was the first that came to mind.

The 98 catalogue for Saracen show a near identical frame but at the high end of the range. So methinks and old Saracen dressed down in cheap parts.

Interesting, seller wants $50 so I'm off to see in person, figure there's at least $50 worth of parts for some of the flips I'm working through
Will send an update

Saracen Addiction, they did the Rush also but that is the more dh orientated bike

Wow! I knew I'd get an answer to this one, thanks! Picked 'er up. Nice FSA headset, low end but decent 7 speed triggers, Nice Suntour cranks. Decent Avid V brakes, LX FD & well used RD. Rescuing the frame maybe a good idea but worried about some swingarm cracks in the top seatstay yoke, wondering the fork is an early Fox or maybe Rockshox? Just needs a lick of paint right

It's actually a lot better than I first thought. $50 sounds a bargain!
