Post by: 333337lee on March 29, 2009, 09:22 AM

found this at the local dump great parts on it but I can't find any info on the frame.

any info would be appreciated

I was just trying out my latest build a vintage single speed, haven't had anything decent from the dump for ages this was in the middle of the skip had to climb in and fish it out.

Good bargain find there, dont know what the frame is though but it looks quite  good quality.
Clean it up, finish it off with a few more bits, and you have yourself a good rider there  ;)

Rear drop outs are very Kuwahara like and it looks like it has an aero down tube  :-\.  Quality welds and parts though so would expect it to be Japanese made, possibly something made by Tange.
