Tange tf r fork dropouts?

[Mr Weirdo]

Hello

Have had a look on the intranet but at the moment unable to find any information on the above dropouts.

Can anyone help?

To actually id the forks I'm guessing I will have to remove them and look on the steerer tube?

Many thanks

Your a star! Do you think as you did comment on my Geoffrey Butler Ishiwata 017 that it could of purposely been teamed up with the tange forks? Thank you.

yours is the first Geoffrey Butler badged cycle have seen which looks as though it may have been purchased as a complete machine

had previously thought of name as a framebuilder only

if they began offering complete cycles at some point other readers will likely have solid information to share for you

AFAIK the earliest European produced cycles to be constructed with Ishiwata tubing were done in Belgium in 1973
