Re:

I think it's a "StarF__kers Xenon" (fill in the blanks and Google it) I don't think I can post the actual name here without getting myself in trouble, so just use your imagination. Just think "firetruck"; starts with an "f", ends with a "k".

It's a trick bike from Tokyo that came out several years ago. In fact, I'm fairly certain it came out somewhere around 2005 or later.

IIRC, the original fork was pretty stout and had 2 or 3 sets of dropouts in which you could choose to mount the front wheel depending on the tricks you wanted to do (barspins, front hops, etc.).

No, I don't have one, but have been looking to get one. I'd want a smaller one (17.5"), but I don't know if they made them that small.

The SFX doesn’t have a rear mech hanger though....

Re:

You would have to do major surgery to the SFX to get it close 700c v 26" wheels, no cable guides or canti mounts and hanger, 2 sets of bottle mounts for a start but all that said it is the closest so far by a long way

So if this mystery bike WAS made in the 90's, then the SFX is the knock-off. It was probably made by starting with the mystery bike and then shaving off the rear mech hanger, cable guides, canti mounts and hanger, bottle mounts, and then simply ( :shock: ) stretching the frame to accomodate 700c wheels.
