Tange Rhino Charge (falcon Team decals)

[rhinocharge]

Hi,

I thought I would share an old photo of my old tange Tioga Rhino Charge racing bike.

 I rode this bike at local races and a couple of regional races in the early eighties, it was the best bmx frame I ever owned, light and great to jump, I sold it or probably swapped it for another bike, I have regreted it ever since.

The local team at the time was Falcon based in Brigg. Falcon used the Tange Tioga Rhino Charge frame & forks for their race team, if you look at the grainy picture of my bike it has the Falcon team decal set on it which was identical to the team bike.

A couple of the team riders at the time where Gary Fenwick & Geoff Bishop, they where both locals who rode in the Kellogs series which was shown on TV back in the day.

My bike had the following parts,

GT Black chrome pro bars
GT Black chrome seat post
GT hubs
Ukai 1.75 rims
Tuff neck Pro blue stem
Tange blue anodised headset and blue anodised lock nut.
Takagi crank
Tioga max flow spider
White sc-2 Tange seat clamp
Kashimax aero seat
Diacompe mx1000 brake
COMP III Tyres

I have recently managed to get hold of a Rhino Charge frame which I am going to be re'chroming & restoring, I will add some pictures when it is done.

Cheers,

Lee.

Thanks,

Great pic Lee
A beautiful survivor Tange / Tioga Rhino III turned up a while back with Falcon decals etc.
This is how it looked when it sold on ebay
