Hi guys, can any one tell me what this is?

Looks like a Murray Eliminator maybe but lots of small differences the crank is different but still a cool frame

The cottered cranks and wide diameter seat stem suggest English or German made.


Those 2 buses in the background give me an idea. Wouldn't it be cool to splice two VW buses together and make one long and low bus? For 15 passengers.
 
AH yeah, good point on the seat post! Did any american bikes have larger diameter posts? I seem to remember having a Huffy Space invader with a larger post, and the rear drop outs are different, I guess it's not a Murray then, never mind, would of been nice to go with my stratoflite.

Cheers T
 
Maybe there are a couple more clues. Assuming the wheels are original, does the brake arm have a name on it? The hubs may also have a name on them. Also, a closeup of the cranks and sprocket might help, along with the outline of where the headbadge would have been.
