Title: Ishibashi - Tange made frame
Post by: James Nada on September 24, 2009, 04:37 PM: I have a frame identical to the one picured below (lifted from BMXMuseum).

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ww127/badgerpigdog/ishibashi.jpg)

It's an Ishibashi, which I believe was made by Tange.

Just wondering if anyone on here knows anything about them. Such as if they were the sold in the UK as completes or f/f. (The only info I can find is that on BMXMuseum http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/ishibashi/)

Cheers

Eddie
