Where they made by Tange?There were a few bikes bitd with exactly the same gusset they were all made by one manufacturer and then sold on to the respective companies (i.e. Yamaha, Bridgestone and some others).Unfortunately I cannot at present remember the original manufacturer but I will endeavour to remember.
