Let's figure out this frame's brand
I firstly tought it was a GT Psyclone but as it does not have the GT Logo back on the top tube and the part of the frame where the rear axle goes is different to GTs, i decided to post some photos. I parted it out because now i'm pretty sure it's not a Psyclone. I'll post some photos. When i adopted the frame it was blue paintes and 3x6 transmission plus rear wheel had black covers.
Fork and cranks are not original.
Before full blacking it.

The triple triangle/Hellenic frame design was also used on a number of Shogun and Nashbar frames in the late 1980s. Serial number?

Some more and better before pics might have been helpful. Whatever it is, it is a lowend model and likely not even a ChroMoly frame. What were the components you took off? Shimano SIS? or Z series?

I've seen what I think was a Murray or Huffy MTB with a triple triangle frame but it may have been another cheap brand, I don't recall now. I do remember being surprised when I came across it was on local CL a few years back. When I first saw the picture my GT alarm went off and then disappointment followed. Had they not priced it like it WAS a GT I might have bought it just for the novelty of it. I'll dig through my photos and see if I saved the picture of it.

So, it seems like we won't be knowing this frame brand or model. It's a 54cm frame, a bit small for me, so, now it's oficially abandoned and will be parted out.
