I like that, no idea what it is but I like it.
-
Wheels = Brittle ?
-
If it looks like a Tange Rhino and smells like a Tange Rhino, then I rekcon it is a Tange Rhino
-
scoppp see the new tange in the museum....hot find dude.
-
not sure it is rhino didnt they have a scooped out downtube ?
-
wrong geometry for a rhino...taiwan rip-off methinks...
-
thats what i was leading to .
-
it got the tange dropout`s ie three in a row ,different i will say
-
i wondered aboot that geom, but thats a tange gusset aint it, i didnt know that they did a thai copy of the rhino....god, what did they not copy?
rhinos do have that scooped but on the toptube, like a streetbeat type affair...

this has a scooped out frame and the seat tube and chainstays are tapered hope this helps
-
i think the wheels are acorns magnums or 20s arent they ?
but the frame is def not tange i believe
-
cheers graig, ya, i've checked it's not a tange :'( . probaly a copy. oh well i'll keep trying to find one. it'll do as a rider for now.

Yeah, you lot don't half make things hard for yourselves.
It is one of those rare Curtis Prostars.
All the clues are there!

I think it could be a coventry eagle, I had one in 81 :daumenhoch:
will try and dig some pics out
-
Ah, my apologies. :-[ I missed a couple of important details. It's a very good copy though - even the fork drop-outs look a little like Tange TX-500
-
did we find out what this is ive aquired one , it has a burner style seatube :wtf: and it has dyno chainring and dyno(by sr) stamped tubular cranks on it
-
well we decided it wasn't a Tange made bike as all the Tange stuff has the serial number on the BB
& the dropouts were too short to be Tange
the 2 below are both Tange made
