Is it a Tange?   looks like a butchered newer type burner or something?

[Gary72]

Not seen rear drop outs weld on like that before. Tubes squashed and drop outs welded to the inside

Burner 

Id say nay 

[Peter J]

I know this is not "the same"

But the drop outs are the same "cut"

The tubes are crushed the same

Aero Pro Burner?

Geometry screams standard Burner/Styler.  Cut and shut maybe.  

Nobody would be devious enough to weld a donor BB shell into a Styler frame and drill out the rear drops to make it look like an Aero Pro, would they?

The BB welds are truly horrendous so it is possible.

Stamping is really bad - looks like someone has stamped a Styler frame up IMO.  Some came with dropouts that didn't have the R cutouts so easy to drill AP-style holes.

Probably peruses these boards going off the guff he has typed here...

KUWAHARA LASERLIGHT ? RALEIGH AERO PRO? TANGE SHOGUN? TANGE RHINO?, LATE 83 HOTHEART? TANGE KOSOKU ? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT........... MY GUESS IS A RARE AUSTRALIAN OR ASIAN MANUFACTURED BMX THAT IS A LONG WAY FROM HOME.

Yeah right.  The gaps between the holes on the drops are all over the shop as well.

Stamped up Styler with drilled drops.  I bet his Kuwi on his homepage is a drilled out Hot Heart as well.   

[Gnarlyscoots]

I think that's an Aero Pro Burner with the wrong fork 

[Wez]

I think that's a MKII Koizumi made Cromo Burner 

Nay

It could be a Pro Race frame and Tange fork 

[Wez]

forks are akisu i think, and Im vouching for it being a bit an arther daley, the rear dropout drilling is gash and its stamped are chudd ....

unless its the 310th ever made tange frame and they were just finding their feet . . 

[Bigbadsam]

IT'S A BURNER

I'm guessing someone wanted to build an Aero Pro replica on the cheap which happens with other bikes too.  That shape Styler frame is worth £20ish? - what's a proper AP cost?  Nothing too wrong with that but it's the deliberate stamping of a sh1te frame that suggests the seller knows exactly what he's doing.

Of course he will say he bought it that way though won't he.   

[pickle]

it's a definate POS whatever it is
