Ah, my apologies.  :-[ I missed a couple of important details. It's a very good copy though - even the fork drop-outs look a little like Tange TX-500

well we decided it wasn't a Tange made bike as all the Tange stuff has the serial number on the BB
& the dropouts were too short to be Tange
the 2 below are both Tange made
