Looks Kuwahara to me going by the shape of the dropouts, serial number and the downtube but the forks don't though $:-\$ .

Tange? Rhino or something? the forks don't look like it though as Marty says $:-\$

Are the forks stamped Tange on the steerer?

no stamp on forks, im not convinced the forks are a match (wrong shapes) ive done a bit of fishing around and the brake stays are wrong for a kuwi. coz ther'ye round.

im starting to think maybe a copy?

Could be a generic Tange frame then, not sure it's a copy of anything. The dropouts are Tange/Kuwie like and the serial number is consistent with Tange; they did make a wide range of frames for many, many companies bitd.
