Got a Spooky pitboss frame. It's pretty much 99% not what you were after but it is a genuine oddball. It's (badly painted) pale blue and tatty, and a tiny dent in the top tube, various scrapes, a spot of corrosion etc. It's magic trick is that it has hayes disc brake mounts, with an adapter to fit a modern flatmount caliper.
I was going to go full resto on it and give it new life with modern disc brakes, but i have run out of time/space/mental capacity.
It's 19" centre of bb to top of seat tube and 22" actual top tube c-c.
I believe it was built by Frank the Welder so this is an actual piece of mountain bike history. Can do it with adapter for £150 posted.
I hear you're good with a spray can... 😃

A couple more pics. It does look truly awful but i'm confident it's structurally sound.

No worries at all. I really like it, i should probably keep it - just going through a periodic ruthless clearout phase.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
