Frame ID please

[billycrabtreeomer]

Got a tange frame that has a stick on it saying tange aero dynamics double butted cr-mo , this is the only original sticker left . tange stamped on BB. Its still got the arx forks that came with it. Down tubes are oval going to round were its meets BB ,from the bottom BB to the back drop- outs is the same again. Seat tube is oval to round with the back stays being the only completely rounded tube, oh and head tube. welding is so neat too.  Never seen one on here or anywhere else either. Give me some help please . Will post  some pics when i can access my photo bucket account.
  
Can anyone remember how the original bike it came as? Or stickers it came with? Any help much appreciated .

You're bang on the money
Tange made this frame for a few companies. Best known as Tioga Rhino Charge.
Also Shogun & Schauff had it in their range as well. Very nice

Unique feature of the frame is the tapered top and down tubes, as you mentioned.
Starts with an oval at the head-tube then tapers down to small round at the seat-tube & BB

Mine will soon be off to OZ i think.

[billycrabtreeomer]

Defo the same as mine , hope the chrome is well preserved . why you sending it Ozstralia. 

[southern andy]

It's not on my wanted to build list as such so i'll offload it after my holiday. A guy in OZ has PM'd me a few times about it and is very serious about purchasing it.
