They were just known as Tange Aero. Super Cycle in Nottingham had a pile of about 25 rusting away in the celler. prob still there. but its out of bounds to the public.

I don't think the Tange Rhino had aero tubing (I may be wrong!) The Rhino was a great frame though!

I think the Rhino had a grove in the down tube, like the top tube of a streat beat, or like the new Sunday frames have on the down tube.

(I could be wrong about that tho)

I recall these being readily avail in 80's & I used one of these for a Skyway TA copy back then > moving on from my original Burner! OK top tube not aero but with a pad...? Recently saw one on the bay & think was same frame used for a TA copy. Gary
