I got it for just £26! Bargain. I'm going to build it up as a dinky little ride for the missus....she's chuffed cos its pinky/purple!

Top marks to you for outing a bike you were interested in yourself. I would have bid on that if I had seen your thread, just out of interest to see what it was like, although I must admit that I've never heard of the brand before.

From the dimensions given, it isn't all that small - fairly similar to a Kona or Rocky Mountain 16/17, rider up to 5-7 or so. And the seller was understating it when he said that the Tange Concept tubeset was one down from Tange Prestige - in fact it was one up from Tange Prestige, and was Tange's highest level when it first came out. The same heat-treated tubes as Prestige, but ovalised and tapered, which all adds to the cost of manufacture but makes it better suited to mtb stresses than plain old round.

That all sounds good, I will keep you updated how the build goes.

make sure you use a good quality steel QR or bolt for the seat - many 'pinged' across the garage from my mates black and orange zolatone style Fusion.
