Post by: mark 2 on August 06, 2009, 08:54 PM: So in that first ad the frame decal says Hot Heart. So is that one because there has been confusion before whether those Tange frames with the heart gusset's are actually called something else. A Mamba?

Post by: bodamus on August 07, 2009, 05:33 PM: That bike is quality could have put some nice Chrome Bars on it though.

Hmm inspiration to build a bike with all Shimano parts perhaps????
