Title: Badly listed frame-sets on ebay
Post by: monkian on February 14, 2011, 11:51 PM
Not to teach anyone to suck eggs, just a friendly heads-up  ;)
Tange-a-like but it's no Flying Rhino:

I've let him know already so he could change the listing.
That said, dib dobs on the forks if he splits :coolsmiley: ;D

Hard to tell from the pics but I don't think it can have the fluted top and down tubes because of the tube diameter.
No flared seat tube or Aero Chainstays and the gusset holes look too big.

From the angles its hard to tell how the geometry compares.

It'd be good to see the weld quality. It could still be a well made Jap frame 8)
Hope that helps :daumenhoch:

You're not wrong mate. Like I said, it could still be a well made bike.
If people think they're getting something they're not.
That could be a bit of a problem. :(
