Yoh Gregg! where you keep diggin these frames up from buddy?

you got a new project every week

Are there any aero shaped tubes on it? Couple of years ago i had a tange made frame similar in design tried for ages to id it ? got it down to either an unheared of or rare Kuwie? got fed up in the end and swapped it!

Yep tange made kuwys , and the aero pro. which has the same geo as a kuwy ,so that looks like the tange branded aero pro/kuwykz1? so maybe they used the same jigs and changed drop outs

my cromo burner again made by tange is exactly the same as a kuwy loop tail but with holes in the rear drop outs

who knows. but that is what i have found out as into my tange made burners

as the picture above looks like an aero pro as well as a kuwwy , but the drop outs are slightly different

Looks more like a Kuwi to me - but you never know with Tange Frames, so many for so many companies!

That's the best Kuwi site - when looking at the pic of your frame my first thought was a 'Survivor', non loop tail, drop outs with 3 circles like the lazer Lite. Looks like you have a flat break plate so I don't think it's a Burner...

Daz - was the Tange frame you're talking about the one I took off you? I thought when I got it it was maybe an Aero Pro as drop outs and chain stays are the same - but it's not oval enough! I was also told maybe a Flying Rhino - but I thought they had a butted down tube... anyway.

My pics are below!

Tioga Rhino III had the same frame, made by Tange...

Agu sport had the same frame (but not that seatposttube), made by Tange...

Alll made by Tange...
