Derringer boardtracker bike frame?

[redpiper777]

Hey there, I have looked these bikes over from top to bottom and pretty much been able to find all the parts Derringer uses online...Im not sure about the tank but Ive seen several blogs about it being a moped tank. But anyway, my real question, does anyone have an idea what bike frame he uses?

Thanks

Very close but its not it. The rear triangle is different and the head tube is solid which I'm sure he could fill in but that triangle gives it away. It even has the water bottle braze-on on the seat tube like the derringer. That is why I know he does not build his own frame, why would you have the braze-ons? Somebody must know which frame it is though.

Found IT!!!!
Called the guy I found this photo from and he said it's a 2007 Raleigh Retro 1.

He fills in the front headtube triangle and calls it custom. They made a couple different ones in 07. They still make these bikes but have changed the top 2tubes. The new 3 speed retroglide even uses the springer fork and the same luggage rack that he has used. How do you post photos?
Here is the site. 2nd photo down.

Looks like a winner ! I think that is it...Thanks...I'm looking to build a bike after the boardtracker I'm putting together now and really wanted that frame for the next one...Thanks

Well that explains how he gets the tank to fit over the top tube...
