Bought this on the forum a few months back, it's a great frame but slightly too big for me.
Its made from Tange OS, the only detailed reference I could find was from an AT&T intranet chat from 1991! (Not quite sure how this worked that early!)

The poster states that all Tange OS Tubes are Made from a Prestige tubeset. I can't verify this but it's a nice ride - noticeably stiffer than 531 etc but still comfortable
I had the headtube and fork crown changed from JIS to ISO by Argos cycles to make choosing a headset easier
Originally purchased for £50+postage . ISO conversion was £40, it's also been touched up and polished. I'll offer it for £90 posted from Bristol or £100 with a black Tange Falcon cartridge headset , which was new on installation.
Here's a photo of it built, I'll get a few more of it stripped down soon
Cheers
