Another one to ID, this has me a bit Stumped. Lo-pro 700c rear 650c front
- Main tubes are extruded and not seam welded, the down tube has been ovalized along the
  centre for a more aero tube.
- Head tube is seam weleded tube with Tange Seki headset
- Bottom Bracket is ISO 68mm 1.37x24
- Rear Dropouts are Gipiemme 130mm spacing
- Front Dropouts unknown, 96mm Spacing
- Front Fork AKISU 86 for 650c
- Cast Bottom Bracket XC83 124632 Serial
- Headtube Lugs Stamped 73 and 430
- Seatube appears to be 26.4mm
- Top Tube cut out for internal cabling
- Chain stays are ovalized and flattened
Like I said, I am a bit stumped, my best guess at the moment is a Kildemoes Cobra, has the same seat stays and the mudguard eyes (very odd on a tt frame) but the colours and seatube are all wrong, it may have had a respray but there is no evidence of this.

A lo-pro with mudguard eyelets? The dropouts on the forks look like they're from a 70's entry level gas pipe frame and the brake cable routing in the toptube looks like a diy solution. Could be home-built or sth.

p.s. the gas pipe vibe of the lo pro reminded me of the infamous schauff lancome. Turns out your's is a schauff, too, albeit not a 'lancome' (which is a good thing). http://forum.tour-magazin.de/showthread.php?336418-Schauff-Zeitfahrrad
