Frame n forks identification please

<< < (2/2)

Taipan:
Thats no kuwie,looks more like a generic copy style f+f set,I doubt the forks are Tange either,see if the forks are stamped under the threads?

bodamus:
Yep not a Kuwahara or Tange made Frameset I'm affraid could be a copy like Akisu or something similar.

monkian:
I think the forks might be Akisu ???
I don't think the end caps, the hole in the blades or the weld over the base of the stem tube are Tange style.
The frame looks nicely welded mind but no idea who made it.

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
JEN MING AND AKISU BLADED FORKS

'83
round top tube and tear drop bottom tube
does it have Cr-Mo on the rear drop out (some did and some didn't )
fork have the same tear drop as the bottom tube on the frame - never looked great at the front when welded
seat post might have Cr- Mo on it as well

bars not sure

sold as frame and fork and then bits added to make up a complete by shops

cheers B  ;)
