Unknown frame.

Bought this as I liked the look of the frame. Unusual way of routing the cable under the top tube.
Rear seat stays are nice and seat bolt unusual.

Unusual, is that some sort of guide under the top tube like rails?

It is recessed for the rear brake cable

I have a MBK Mirage frame with same routing for the rear brake cable

Are the rear dropouts vertical? Never seen a top tube like that. It's the sort of thing Andy Thompson might do..

Vitus 797 does the same thing !

Mirage looks a good call, not the version with the dropped seatstays, but the earlier? Version which has under top tube cable guide, seatpost bolt in the same position pimp pip and also the rearward slope on the top of the seat tube .
