Tange made many many frames for other makes, what is the serial number and where is it located?

I  would hazard a guess at a top of the range falcon Was it called a theta or gamma or something greek anyways. :)

falcon/barbican/peugeot/aero fox/coventry eagle/puch and probably many other brands with essentially the same frame dont reckon its a kuwie though but then again im no expert

Dont think its a kuwahara either or a falcon cause the rear dropouts dont match.Its doin me head in cause i know its a good frame,its light and the welds are good and i really want to bring it back to its former glory.The search goes on ::)

Like Dordy said its like one I have, Im not slagging your frame off but the welds on mine are much better. Mine has like a little barrel shape in the middle of the brake bridge. I was 99% sure mine was called an Aero Destroyer, never heard of them anyway its now a Kuwie copy in this resto section somewhere. It might be hard to find if its a cheaper model as most only bother about the good stuff.
