I've got one of these that I got off Bigplinky that I'm going to restore, so need some info please, it's a Frame which needs Painting + Superforks with stem combo. It has no stamps so I'm guessing it's a ramproom made frame, it was 10mm dropouts but has been opened up to 14mm.
Amy info on colour decals etc would be much apprechiated :daumenhoch:
Will post pic's tonight once I'm home :)
Just found these

Light blue is by far the best colour for a Taj in my opinion. :smitten:

Taj frames had a 20.75" Top tube, the 75 degree head angle made them feel like 21"

Here's a picture of my Taj, it has the the HB stamp in the headtube gusset, pearl blue paint and 14mm drops which makes it a 97 Taiwanese model. Still an awesome bike though. I have built it similar to how Taj rode his 96 BITD.
