How about a few more pictures?

-Bottom bracket & serial number

-Derailuer hanger

-Gusset under down tube bu the head tube



Thats a typical 90's alloy hardtail MTB.

That fork is about a '95 or '96 Rock Shox Judy. Defiantly not good the way its compressed like that. Lack of V brakes also makes it pre '97 or so.

If I had to guess Bean Racing was a team or something, not a brand.
 
I was going to guess Specialized, but with no serial number and really no distinguishing features that's going to be a tough one to identify.

Was thinking early Specialized Rockhopper alloy frame based on slightly ovalized chain stays by the bottom bracket, similar down tube gusset and because it has a Specialized front wheel, but those bikes had replaceable derailler hangers and always have serial numbers.

Thanks for the help fattyre , I took the bike apart and found a serial on the inside of the rear dropout. It started with 93 and I think it is a Specialized . I will keep looking.maybe metal matrix frame tubing is real thin and rings when you tap your fingers on it
