Saw this up for sale and missed it but i'm so glad you got it  ;)

strange with the double drop outs  8)

it's a cool frame and strange how there is not more, see how they have been put together - must be rare if not many are around

with a good polish up this is gonna look sweet  >:D

can't wait for it to be built up  :4_17_5:

sweet find now do it justice >:D

monkian:
Thanks B. I'll give it some much needed TLC :daumenhoch:
I think a professional polish might save the chrome but it'll have to take it's place in the queue for a while.
The Rhino Charge is next in line...just need to find some Comp IV's, bleach some grips and it's done :)

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Seem weird that more frames didn't go this way and be made like this  :coolsmiley:

still keep looking at the double drop outs and think how many normal drop outs have gone out of shape - these don't look like they would  >:D

then there is the weight  ???

This caught my eye over on that old thread about the Rattlesnake:


--- Quote from: rockinlumberjack on September 19, 2006, 01:25 PM ---Very nice ! In early 86 in Germany, was a similar model : the Tange Anaconda frame in 2 tones colours, chrome + some colours avalaible (like the Haro of same period). They proposed a kit with Tange Anaconda Pro Powertwist frame, very similar to the Rattlesnake (maybe the same, but with another name for other country) with the same fork as the Rattlesnake : a Tange Mega Force and with SR stem and Sugino CT 175 cranks. I've the publicity on a German magazine under the eyes now. It's damage that I've not a scaner to post it. It's seemed to be a nice frame and fork. I'm rebuilding an OS bike : Mongoose Rupe frame, but I've not a fork. I will buy a Tange Mega Force in Germany to fit with, as I've not genuine fork. I will not make an exact replica of the Rupe, but I will equiped it with parts from 84-85. Have anybody have experience with Tange Mega Force forks ? I've seen a few in the old days, but never own one. Thanks

I thought I'd chance my arm and send the guy a cheeky email (only 5 1/2 years later) to see if he was still around and had any info on the magazine he referred to ::)
Anyway, a few days pass, then out of the blue I get this:  :shocked:

Hello Paul !
Sorry for the long time to reply. I've attached to my e-mail the scan of the advertisement on the German BMX magazine that I bought on June 1986 when I was 16...
Hope this helps and appologies again for the long time to reply. Regards from Switzerland. Romain

What an incredible thing to do. Romain, I thank you my friend 8) :daumenhoch:

As far as I've been able to translate, it goes a bit like this: 3-part series: frame, cranks and stem (with potts mod).
Colors: chrome / turquoise, chrome / lavender, chrome / white and blue.

Definitely heading towards mid school with that colour scheme!  Love the decals, very Vector-ish I think you have made a brilliant find there  :daumenhoch:
