frame/forks/bars id please

Hi folks,

wondered if you would be kind enough to have a look and see if you can id these bits.

was a mates bike, came with a diamond back stem, raleigh burner chainwheel, sugino one piece crank and maxy cross pedals. i reckon it's a mish mash of bits. forks i think are either tange tx1200 or tx500 could anyone confirm? not sure about the frame it has similiar drop outs to a tange frame and teardrop/oval tubing. not sure about the bars either. anyway, here they are....

as it was...



frame/forks



top bracket



bottom bracket



brake bridge



dropout



forks







bars





any help much appreciated, oh and are the forks supposed to be angled from the stem??

cheers

(pics came out small. can confirm the forks are stamped tange japan 2C and the handlebars stamped cr-mo h t. the frame serial is J40177449 - the 0 could be a J, looks like a 0 but left half missing)

markyp:
is the frame tubing oval??if so it could be a raleigh aero pro burner.the bars look like mid 80's gt,but i might be wrong on both counts :crazy2:

terrywastecake:
cheers for the reply. defo not an aero pro as the drop outs are too fat and stubby, also the two bottom tubes have a tight radius where they approach the wheel, the aero pro is a slight radius.

the tubes are oval (lower) and teardrop (top)

the helpful folks on burnerworld mention it might be an acorn freeway? anyone confirm or have any pics?

TX-1200W  :daumenhoch:

The TX-500W (full chro-mo) have "triangular-ish" cut outs whereas the TX1200W have circles  :daumenhoch:

thanks for that and, well, thats what i thought until i stumbled upon this

the forks on this are angled between the fork stem and the fork itself, similiar to mine, so i assumed that they were 500's. can you confirm that the 1200's are also angled??
