Sorely tempted myself - but missus would kill me if I turned up with this.

Anyone know what it is?

Re:

Dunno, but with the opportunity to upload up to 12 photos, I'd like the seller to make a bit more effort

At least one from the other side would be a start!

So a reasonably new frame and you don't know the make?

Is it even titanium?

I don't really follow modern mountain biking that closely. I doubt I could name more than half a dozen titanium frame manufacturers (and I have two of them). Judging by the wheels I guess it's about 2011.

Titanium. I wondered that myself. It looks more like aluminium - but I suspect that's a trick of the light as the welds, rear dropouts and thinness of the tubing look more like titanium.

Re:

I meant the seller doesn't know the make seems a bit strange

It's not aluminium, either steel or titanium, colour doesn't look right for bare titanium and the square tubes I'm not sure about.

Yes, my guess is that it is not their bike. Perhaps a partner's or flatmate's?

It also looks like whatever decals were on the frame have been stripped off. Not uncommon to try and de-bling your bike in London.

The seller added:
"EDIT: I've had a comment from an Ebay user who seems to know his stuff. He says the frame is probably a steel "Haro Mary SS" frame with "On One" Carbon forks."

I spotted the O-O fork, and I knew I'd seen the frame details *somewhere* before.
One could do a lot worse for 250 squids.

I looks like someone agrees with you as they've gone and bought it. I wasn't completely sure about the forks as there are a lot of similar looking carbon forks to On-One's.
