Title: Shimano badged tange aero with trx forks?
Post by: oldschoolace on August 30, 2014, 11:45 AM: Eh up lads, just stumbled on one of these and wondering if it was an actual model or just a tange aero someone has stickered up?
seems to be one on the museum but restored so still unsure :-\

Nice frame and forks though 8)

Also round or oval top & down-tubes?

Could well be a Shimano:

Might be worth PMing Khaled (spartacus) as he has one ;)

I always thought the old Shimano logo was this one ...

£160 sound about right? :-\
