FRAME: So the frame is definitely Cult, but the spray paint is so thick that I can’t see any serial numbers. Can anyone tell what it is? And what’s with the hole in it? Did someone try to fill in the brake holes or is that damage?
BARS: The ad says they are Subrosa, but they have a distinct design characteristic: the vertical bars are not shaved flat at the bottom. They look more like 9″ rise Fubars to me.
FORKS: These are supposedly Salt forks, can anyone confirm? They don’t seem to be tapered or particularly modern, and they look nothing at all like my parts bin forks off a Sunday complete. Any guesses?

What’s with the headset? It’s looks like they had cups welded into place
And typically cult frames have an embossed logo on the top tube gusset by the head tube
Details look similar to a Cult frame but Cult have been debossing their logo on the bridge and gussets forever, so I don’t think it’s actually a Cult frame.
Whatever it is, don’t ride it. That hole is nasty. It’s either rusted out or the hangers got badly buckled and the metal split when somebody tried to pull it back into shape.
Those headtube cups are… what the f are they? It looks like cake icing holding them in place.
I think thse handlebars look like somebody’s welding project. The bottom left weld was too hot… has eaten the tubing, the ends look really crude.
This has been somebody’s art/clown bike project at some point. Big stupid forks off another kind of bike (hence the cups) and some attempt to modify the rear end maybe resulting in stress damage.
Its junk now IMHO
I hope you bought it for decoration and not to ride
The red frame: Someone welded a bunch of shit on that frame. Those headtube welds are not factory. I wonder if they removed brake mounts and tried to weld the holes and blew through the thinner tubing and that’s how the hole appeared?
