Certainly looks like the right gusseting (!) for a Bontrager, and the dropouts look right too...

This mrorange.vrc? You don't happen to know him, or his username on mtbr do you? He won a Bontrager frame that I really wanted for the girlf and want to see if he'll part with it...stu":2e4nxh6c said:

Like a ghost from across the pond . . .Hi all. I just recently became a member. I'll stop lurking now.
It is genuine only in the fact that it was made in Santa Cruz. The fork is throwing the geometry off. Would be better if it were Bonty crowned Rock Shox . . . the color is . . . different . . . .um, it's 1 1/8 headtube . . be better if it were 1" . . . rear stays are OK as many early brazed Bonties were not monostay. For this time period that this one was built? Strange. I would call it a curio, more than anything else.
Yeah, a bontrek, or a trekager, or . . . tretrager . . .
