Ironhorse Defender hard tail

So is this frame a good one to build as a 26” klunker/bmx?

Without pics, I can't really say.

Got a gut feeling?

They had some good bikes, depends on the era. Before 2010, they were a small company with a pro team, Sam Hill won them a couple of championships before they went bankrupt and were swallowed up by Dorel.

Ok thanks. To be more clear, I was asking about frame quality and brand reputation. Not 26 BMX geometry.
I’ll get a pic soon. It’s got nice stacks of dimes and a pretty metallic red finish but it also has a big “made in china” sticker on it.
I don’t know the year. Would y’all know the year from a picture?

I'd ride it, but keep it clean to inspect the frame on the regular if taking it into the dirt a bunch.
