Post by: MartyC on January 17, 2012, 01:38 PM: Something very mid 80's MT Racing about the dropouts but not sure about the aero tubes, I'd be tempted to say generic Akisu or similar too :daumenhoch:

Post by: jT Racing on January 18, 2012, 10:55 PM: It's akisu made, but it's been branded by quite a few different companies like a lot of the tange stuff was. So it's whichever one you find a pic of and like the idea of the most, or just akisu. It's probably a full cro mo frame set.
