"Supra Faultline" ?

[smithseventy]

Can anyone tell me about this frame? It has decals reading "supra" and "faultline". I know nothing about its history or manufacturer.

I don't know anything about it, but with that lugged frame, it would make for an awesome Pashley Guvnor type of redo.

Good luck with it!

Cheers,

looks to be some kind of cyclocross frame judging by the bar end shifters and canti brakes and beefy fork. Or just a touring bike because of all the rack dropouts...if you threw a rear wheel into it and looked at the clearance between the rear tire and downtube, alot of clearance would mean more of a touring frame, narrow clearance would be more road bike / cyclocross geometry..It's looking kind of late 80's to me.

Univega made a Supra line... could be that I guess... does it have japanese parts on it? :?

Well said.
I door knocked on neighbor and got the OK to take a common old bike they had put out for recycling.
I built, road, played then listed and sold this bike. I went online right away to see if another project to be found with the proceeds.
What I found was a post accusing me of being the thief and suggesting my others posted were likely hot too.! I posted a 'Contact Me' ad and sent his ad a reply.
Long story short, the guy that posted the accusation was a bike bud of mine.
My sad buyer kindly brought the bike back right away and my friend got to ride into the sunset on a refreshed sentimental favorite.
This true tale that could have had a way way way different outcome for all parties.
That good old Bike Karma.
