1980 Tange Hot Heart build.

<< < (4/9) > >>

BMX1973:
You are putting a lot of time and effort into that build. Its starting to look Rad  :daumenhoch:

Looking at that info leaflet at the top of the thread, just shows how high end these bike were.  :)

Avro:
...I previously fitted a Tioga Taskforce head lock, a chrome one, but I really wanted a black Tange LP440 but failed to find one at a reasonable price. I have not been able to set up my anodising station yet so a compromise was needed. I had this Akibo lock nut on watch for a short while thinking it would do just fine. A fellow radster did message me about it suggesting it would work well so I was encouraged. I knew Monkian (member on here also) is building an Akibo so I checked to see if he was interested in it before I pulled the trigger. I prefer it to the Tioga so all is good.

I may have been a bit hasty fitting these minty Tioga V bars. They might be better placed on another build I have waiting. I do have a couple of other options, a set of Laserbars and a set of bars that are identical to Laserbars, and I mean identical, except that the crossbar is 7/8 (20mm) and not 15/16 (24mm). They were sold to me as being kuwahara Nova.
Anyway, they are fitted for the moment. They are nicely stamped Tioga and 'Alps Japan', the maker.

..this set is dated 1980. I think this is when production started (more on this another time).
