Post by: Jaymz on October 07, 2010, 03:37 PM: looks like a bit of a hybrid, bits of everything off there, still i'd say its worth a punt at around the £60 mark, if you break it you'll get that back easy

Post by: adeshere on October 07, 2010, 04:48 PM: Looks like original Tuff 2's to me with the metal hubs not ally hubs

Forks have a TANGE label on them, def not a TA

Post by: southern andy on October 07, 2010, 06:21 PM: I'm with Greg, that's a Falcon Pro.

In fact you can still see the rivet where the falcon badge was on the headtube.

Post by: monkian on October 07, 2010, 06:36 PM: I'd say the Forks are proper Tange ARX due to the welds :daumenhoch:
Possible SR Seat Clamp / Shimano DX Peds ? ? / DC MX1000/900 / Diamond Back - Sugino 3PC & Chainring
Tyres look decent. You might also get lucky with the Stem / Bars / Levers (Tech III's) / Fluted Post / Seat / Headset / Locknut

I'd say with a bit of elbow grease you'll more than make your money back on a part out without the frame and wheels :daumenhoch:

Post by: the_wheelie_king on October 07, 2010, 06:43 PM: Isn't that one of those MT Fox frames?

Post by: southern andy on October 07, 2010, 06:49 PM: As in the topic in Chat,

it's a falcon Pro frame. You can still see the rivet of the Falcon badge on the headtube.

Greg Motomag also has those forks on one of his Falcon builds.

Post by: jbulteel on October 07, 2010, 06:49 PM: Yep frame is 100% falcon pro, I have one, there are two little rivet holes on the head tube that I can see in the pics, this is for the falcon pro badge.

Post by: Del on October 07, 2010, 07:03 PM: certainly not Skyway Tuffs, my mate had some of those copies BITD and cut the reflector tabs off... think he still has them in his garage... as Andy says, its looks like a falcon frame.
