11Someone’s going to ask about those bolt cutters sooner or later – Swifty Mar 28 '19 at 07:25

7The chain is greased, tyres not flat. Quality Deanne with three-piece cranks. That must have been a pretty posh junk pile. – gschenk Mar 28 '19 at 09:05

1Not sure why this got downvoted. That certainly doesn't appear to be a BSO from a big-box store. It looks to be handmade, and the apparent lack of oxidation on what appears to be raw metal means that metal might be titanium. Both the seat tube and the crankarms are almost certainly aluminum, and both of those appear to have normal aluminum surface oxidation. – Andrew Henle Mar 28 '19 at 10:51

7@AndrewHenle Maybe because people get suspicious when somebody claims to have found a decent-looking bike in good condition in an old pile of junk and there happens to be a pair of bolt-cutters in the photo? – David Richerby Mar 28 '19 at 11:59

@robert Do you intend on riding this bike? – Criggie Mar 29 '19 at 00:55

That does look very similar, but it doesn't have the gusset where the top- and down-tubes meet the head tube. – David Richerby Mar 28 '19 at 14:44

It looks like the aluminum version. They built versions of this frame for years. The second link has a long list with pictures. – David D Mar 28 '19 at 15:08

1I didn't see any with the gusset on the first page, but I didn't notice that there were multiple pages. I think it would be an improvement if you linked to one that actually has the gusset, rather than jsut claiming that there is one somewhere in those seven pages of photographs. – David Richerby Mar 28 '19 at 15:10

1It appears to be a 1994 Auburn JR-20RX https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/auburn_racing/67331 https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/auburn_racing/11076 https://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/auburn_racing/36235 – Andy P Mar 28 '19 at 15:40
