Never seen this before and it seems unlikely that a smallish Austrian company would splurge on a carbon downhill frame that doesn't share any characteristics with the rest of their lineup. @Flo33 to the rescue?!

@frango you go to TW often enough. Did you browse through their catalogs lately? Not astro but there were a few other companies that did catalog frames.

@Sandro if you are less lazy than me you can search the TW catalog http://www.wheelgiant.com.tw/ebook/en_etbs.html

Nakita is a brand I haven't heard/read about for quite some time. They were sold by independent and small dealers. The brand itself is just a name for catalog bikes, like @norbar and @Vrock have already mentioned.

Edit: oops, NAkita, not Nikita. Although Nikita pretty much vanished here too.

Just out of curiosity do you work with catalog brands or are you just browsing the catalogs?

That's a Dead Rabbit - Splendid dh frame. The guy come from Switzerland. I remember him saying he was working with one of the factories, so either they bought/licensed the design or just stole it (nothing uncommon).

Never really worked with them, just used to browse all stuff when I was working at a rather big shop with bikes sporting the shop's name on it. Was the shop of Bernie Eisels brother, who also was a rather good roadie.

Looks like it's meant for doing wheelies and absolutely nothing else with that retarded seat angle.
