Some shock or linkage parts hidden or missing?
Unfortunately that's all I've got + front derailleur, crankset (Hollowtech), chain (10 speed), KCNC bb. Headtube is for ahead fork with closed cartridge bearings. Rear derailleur hanger is connected to the rear fork with two small screws which is common today. Looks a frame from this century, but early years because the cables are not integrated to the frame. Takes 29" wheels back with large tyres. But without the original fork can't tell if it is for sure 29er.
Headtube is tapered, I have carbon fork to fit the frame if it's 1 1/5". Haven't measured the head tube yet. The frame looks sadder than it is, actually. Scratches, but no dents or anything. The original cranks (Deore XT are taken off for cleaning) KCNC BB, pressfit, pressed in with the threads in the bb shell itself (PF30). No shock absorber, no connector plates. Deore XT front derailleur (braze-on), 10 speed chain (HG-X) with missing link. Looks it might have been Deore XT bike originally.
Just trying to figure out what I've got...treasure or garbage.
