Title: TANGE/TIOGA RHINO FRAMES INFO + PICTURES REQUIRED PLEASE (NOW FOR SALE)
Post by: bodamus on July 09, 2007, 01:35 PM

**********NOW FOR SALE ON EBAY ITEM NUMBER  170130465844**************

I have an NOS Chrome Tange/Tioga Rhino Frame not sure of the year but I think it's one of the earlier ones pre 1983 I am guessing. It has a gusset like the old 1979-80 Kuwahara KE-1 as it was meant to be the replacement for the fragile single gusset KE-1.

Does anyone have any info or pictures of any Tange/Tioga Rhino Frames as I know there were a few slightly different models made the Rhino, Rhino II and Rhino III and Flying Rhino so I can see exactly which one mine is.

Any pictures of Framesets complete bikes or any info you might have would be great as I can't seem to find much about them anywhere.

I would post a picture but am having Photo Bucket problems at the momemt. If anyone can post the picture for me that would be great.

Thanks from bodamus :daumenhoch:

best info & pics i can find is HERE (http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/kuwahara/437?PHPSESSID=a70a0218c8f69663d56ea74637776aa1)

Mine is the same as yours but it doesn't have those indents in the tubes my tubes are just round which makes me think it's possibly earlier than a Rhino III ?

There is a serial number on the outside of the left rear dropout which is J3446358.

Hmmm?

Showtime that was only real picture I could find of one aswell thanks. So are these Frames pretty rare then. Your right some repop decals would be great.

Ron Burgundy thanks for putting a picture of one up.

Thanks from bodamus :daumenhoch:
