Built this for a show yesterday. I was wondering if this frameset was something that was common in the UK. It looks to be Tange made.

It looks cool. You don't often see an aero version
If it's Tange Daz, it will be stamped on the BB.
I don't remember Schwinn ever being a major player in the UK for BMX, bud.

Was there anything that Tange made that looked similar to it for the UK market?

Yeah, the Raleigh Aero Pros were Tange-made though as Terry mentioned, I think Tange stamped most of their frames. Didn't Schwinn production move to Taiwan rather than Japan?

I built the Schwinn with the top of line parts as it seemed like a rare one. People would do a double take due to Predator decals and the parts choice.
The handlebars on that bike are early Odyssey Profile (belonged to a Patterson rider)
