What frame is this?

[grogee]

I took a punt on an eBay purchase local to me and collected it today. Unfortunately I didn't realise it has tubular tyres... so they'll be for sale, nowt special (Mavic GP4 on Omega hubs).

Anyway the frame doesn't have a manufacturer mark at all. Serial no AM2K025235

Big aluminium thing. Downtube is teardrop shaped in profile. Not sure if the polish swirls are OE or a customisation.

NB: There's no seat stay bridge and the headset is Kuwahara - I thought they were a BMX brand?

Any clues would be much appreciated. Thinking I might keep this and get the frame to a nice polish.

Just a hunch but what makes you think it isn't a Coyote

The replaceable hanger is exactly the same shape as my Ambrosio Guido. Dropout shape/welding looks pretty similar as well.
I know you'll instantly make the connection with the AM in the serial number, however, mine is AF40702707 and is under the bottom bracket.

You mena on my Coyote pic? Sadly not my bike. Search Google images for 'coyote road bike' and you'll see it, might be more info.

Re:

Thanks fellas. Coyote seems best match so far. Gonna get it gleaming and drape some nice bits on it...

Re:

When I said it was exactly like the Ambrosio, that's what I meant.
Call it what you will, but tell me these two back ends weren't built by the same robot.

The stem is a Deda something or other. I had one. Its quite an elegant stem, and while being a threadless fitting, doesn't have the modern functional appearance associated with most ahead stems. The single bolt attaching it to the fork is incorporated within the stem as opposed to being 2 lugged clamping bolts.

Sometimes it can take a while to get an answer. I do believe you have a Barracuda Squadra there.
