Its just a survivor, polished it up a bit and some new decals.

Tis very nice that mate

I like that, reckon a set of gold pedals and an MX seat would finish it off

dib dobs

Seriously A, it's a beautiful thing. As you know, it's right up my street
Great job but I'd just see if you can get that seat back over the guts a bit more.

If you ever decide to move it on I'll look forward to your PM

seat does go back some more but it tends to force the seat out of shape at the sides which i dont want to do to my refurbed kashi!!!

Any ideas?

Slight layback possible.....

Different forks maybe but it looks pretty close to this: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/falcon/37941
A rebadged Falcon Pro maybe

rick1970 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 20, 2011, 09:25 PM »

It does look very similar, mine was bought as a f+f set and we just chucked it together, i cant tell from your pics but if i remember rightly it had about three holes on each side of the gusset has yours the same ? seams these tange frames got about a bit

monkian · « **Reply #33 on:** June 20, 2011, 10:02 PM »

Yeah, when it comes to Tange, it's tricky knowing for sure what's what

The one in the museum isn't mine but on the blown-up image it looks like it's got the 3 holes in the small HT gusset.
Not sure these were Tange though. Seat-tube decal has Taiwan BDC?? Hi-Ten

So could be Akisu made: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/sekai/8372

I only know of a couple of Tange frames with that type of gusset:

http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/sekai/14520

See what I mean

I'm loving the pics. Where is/was that track?

I bought the one recently on Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160599111244

It came with a Shot Gun II seat with Falcon stamped on the back and so mine must have been sold as a Falcon.
Looks like your Falcon decals probably were the original ones then

Cheers
Steven

haha, we were wondering who bought that!

You gonna be putting the Falcon decals back on though?

Whats it like the Rhino? Has the rust come off?

monkian · « **Reply #39 on:** June 21, 2011, 01:20 PM »

Cool, get some pics up

Well I originally wanted it basically for the wheels crank/BB and headset which are heading straight on my Mk1 Pro Burner .

But it's a nice little bike and a project for the future. Tange Seiki bottom bracket, Sugino cromo crank dated 83, shot gun II seat, Tange seat clamp, fluted straight seat post, orig CW large bars.

Nearly all the rust has come off, a couple of areas will need a soak and the chrome on the seat post is buggered so that will need a rechrome at a later date as will the bars.

It'll be stickered with the Rhino 3 decals , as the Falcon ones don't do the quality of the F+F justice. Even the forks have a weird tappering.

Steven
