Bought a second-hand mountain bike. I just wanted to try it out, so I looked for cheap bikes. I found one with a Shimano XT/XTR groupset, RockShox, a new saddle, good tires, and a shiny frame. However, the frame has no branding at all on it. I thought it must have been painted over, but since I only paid 50 bucks, I’d rather have a nice-looking old frame with no branding than an old-looking branded bike.
When I picked up the bike, the owner told me he originally bought it and was 100% sure the frame was manufactured by Trek but sold by a sub-brand he couldn’t remember the name of. After some Googling, I am unable to find anything referencing unbranded bike frames from Trek.
Can anyone here help me identify this frame or debunk the theory of the previous owner?
