Yoh Gregg! where you keep diggin these frames up from buddy? ::) you got a new project every week ::) ;D Are there any aero shaped tubes on it? Couple of years ago i had a tange made frame similar in design tried for ages to id it ? got it down to either an unheared of or rare Kuwie? got fed up in the end and swapped it! ???

Yep tange made kuwys , and the aero pro. which has the same geo as a kuwy ,so that looks like the tange branded aero pro/kuwykz1? so maybe they used the same jigs and changed drop outs
my cromo burner again made by tange is exactly the same as a kuwy loop tail but with holes in the rear drop outs
who knows. but that is what i have found out as into my tange made burners
as the picture above looks like an aero pro as well as a kuwwy , but the drop outs are slightly different

cheers mate doesnt help too much but may build it as a burner or a kuwahara or just a tange wicked race bike as all there frames were top notch in my view .boy they made some frames too .

Looks more like a Kuwi to me - but you never know with Tange Frames, so many for so many companies!

That's the best Kuwi site - when looking at the pic of your frame my first thought was a 'Survivor', non loop tail, drop outs with 3 circles like the lazer Lite. Looks like you have a flat break plate so I don't think it's a Burner...
Daz - was the Tange frame you're talking about the one I took off you? I thought when I got it it was maybe an Aero Pro as drop outs and chain stays are the same - but it's not oval enough! I was also told maybe a Flying Rhino - but I thought they had a butted down tube... anyway.
My pics are below!
