What is this elevated chain stay bike? £40 - London

Needs a lot of love by the terrible photo

I think it's a Yokota Terminator. I'd be happy to take on another e-stay project, but I'd need someone from London to help ship to USA. Anyone?

The expert has spoken!

I'm too far away to help, but surely someone can help send this to its ideal home.

Don't know if they are related but looks like a Carrera Katalyst to me....

It’s such a terrible picture! I just feel sorry for it (the bike that is)!

I can't tell from the (excellent) photo whether it has braces between the stays or whether that is the edge of the radiator behind it, but isn't the cable routing wrong?

The cable routing looks right to me, it certainly is not right for the Yokota, yes it is a brace on the rear stays.

@incorrigible It looks to be 20-30 mins from me so I can pick it up if you go for it. No idea about shipping it, but we'll figure it out.

I too am pretty close to this one, I'm a bit swamped though ATM with stuff, so over to Rotorhead

Be warned though, it's a bit of a dog by the looks of things. It's been on FB for a while, there were better pictures at one time. I genuinely think the paint may be been rollered on in places...

the paint on the tyres isn’t a great sign....
