 :( afraid not, that is what I thought when I bought it but after doing some research I cam to the conclusion that it is a Akisu A-Pro. I do have the original forks but a weld on one of the dropouts has a blow out on it so have purchased some tange ARX that I might fit instead not sure yet  :-\ Chez

Chez-6:
 :) last few bits and yes for those amongst you that are observant I have bought another pair of blue grips  :idiot2: I am sure the others will come in  :daumenhoch:  frame  going off to be re chromed next week  will post pic's once I have it back.  Chez

fischflo:
......I'd try the ARX forks - but i just happen to really like those, way cool dem forks  :D   Do You really have to rechrome the frame? Looks fine on the pic.

Akisu made Tange ..... you live and learn 8)

Chez-6:
Sweet thanks for advise on the forks I will go with the ARX as like you say they are just so dam cool  8) frame has lots of scratches on it on the head and top tube as though someone has sanded it at some point and not sure it will polish out :-\ Chez

fischflo:
don't see these Tange/Akisu frame based builds too often, great project for a first bike in my opinion, not that easy, because it forces you have to develop your own idea of what it will be and kind of what a straight bmx is about ....... off to the chromer :2gunsfiring_v1:
