Mystery vintage mtb...any ideas?

[Purple Helmet]

Just bought this...any ideas what it is?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290768042773? ... 1434.l2649

It is local to me so I fancied a punt...not sure of frame size, but if it's too small for my 6ft 1" frame I might sell it on...

Thanks

Dawes Ranger circa 1985ish maybe?

Load of Pony then...or just good for parts? :shock:

I made a few guesses when it first appeared on eBay: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=215642

Could be something wacky out of Japan or custom built here.

I agree.
I have seen a 1985 dawes ranger that had the same sort of frame and forks.
