I need help to ID my frame please
I have just got a very poor looking state single speed frame that was left in a garden when someone moved out and I was gifted it from the new house owner,
It's a large steel frame and fork with rear dropouts that have a built in chain tentioner consisting of a long bolt that screws through the dropout with a letter C on them, the frame also has a large C stamped into the headtube, I'm going to build this frame up but would like to know if anyone knows of the frame make, I think it's a charge plug but can't seem to find any on Google that have a stamped C on headtube, any help much appreciated

No pictures, what is the point? If you are interested in bikes then join in on some active discussions and in no time you will be able to post pictures. Not into bikes and just looking to use us as google, maybe try altavista or askjeeves.

I've never used a forum before I didn't know I couldn't ask a question without photos, I'm 45 don't drive and my legs are my gears and have been for years, I was looking for a little help but obviously not from this site if this is first reply,

The Swobo Del Norte had a chain tensioning screw like the one you describe, but there just isn't enough info in your description to hazard a guess.

Is the "C" stamped into the rear fork end? Or is it a decal like this?
If you want, you can post photos to the gallery on your user page and then we can find them there.
