If it looks like a Tange Rhino and smells like a Tange Rhino, then I rekcon it is a Tange Rhino

retrogeezer · « **Reply #6 on:** March 20, 2006, 06:36 PM »

thats what i was leading to .

stuntmaster · « **Reply #8 on:** March 20, 2006, 06:42 PM »

it got the tange dropout`s ie three in a row ,different i will say

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #9 on:** March 20, 2006, 06:43 PM »

i wondered aboot that geom, but thats a tange gusset aint it, i didnt know that they did a thai copy of the rhino....god, what did they not copy?
rhinos do have that scooped but on the toptube, like a streetbeat type affair...

crazycraig · « **Reply #10 on:** March 20, 2006, 06:45 PM »

this has a scooped out frame and the seat tube and chainstays are tapered hope this helps

motomagII · « **Reply #11 on:** March 20, 2006, 06:47 PM »

i think the wheels are acorns magnums or 20s arent they ?
but the frame is def not tange i believe

silentpartner · « **Reply #12 on:** March 20, 2006, 06:53 PM »

Yeah, you lot don't half make things hard for yourselves.

It is one of those rare Curtis Prostars.

All the clues are there!

I think it could be a coventry eagle, I had one in 81

will try and dig some pics out

Moose · « **Reply #18 on:** March 21, 2006, 01:22 AM »

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

selfpreservation · « **Reply #19 on:** October 07, 2006, 12:05 AM »

did we find out what this is ive aquired one , it has a burner style seatube

and it has dyno chainring and dyno(by sr) stamped tubular cranks on it

showtime · « **Reply #20 on:** October 07, 2006, 12:32 AM »

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
