Isn't that the most irritating website?
It's like: here are some nice frames for you to look at, but if you think you can buy them, ha!
Or if you think we'll give you any information of use, you can piss off.
bastards.

No, it's not my new frame !! As nice as it is, on my next frame I am going lo-pro because all the cool people ride lo-pro (I think). But I would love to get my hands on that slice of new future hip hop slave spaceshipery.

The picture of the frame is from Tange's own website - http://www.tange-design.com/ - but the site is so shit that not only do they not have a list of dealers, but they also have no contact information or email address to enquire about stuff - useless !

If you stick 'tange track frame' into Google it takes you nowhere - but obviously the frames exist and are current so somewhere is knocking them out, maybe only available in Japan/Asia ? - like eyebrows says maybe HK fixed might be the place to locate them.

I would be up for a group buy, but you are looking at 50-100 frames.

Yes ! I posted basically what you said before I read you post, the site is fucking pointless.

If it is asia only, it is only a matter of time before i'm out there again so relevant details could be given and then, well you get the idea.

Japan trip 2 is coming up in december, Hong Kong return to place of birth, etc is also coming at some point....

But group buy as tynan says is unlikely...
They are sweet as, and if I ever get to do that frame building course I'm going to have to build up something like that.

The group buy thing was clearly a moment of pastis-induced bike-lust hysteria, but I WILL have one Godammit! I WILL!!!
@briankwan: Yes, do that... Please do that...
That frame is now burnt onto my retinas as well as being my new mobile wallpaper...
Only two new frames to buy and a resto to do... Oh well, could be worse I suppose... Looks like I'm selling the Les Paul Junior after all... ;)

In other news... Found a place selling the Fuji Track Pro frameset...
Not as thrilling as the Tange but a good fall-back option should all else fail/it was a mirage after all... Reasonably priced too!

My stealth Tange/Fuji Track Pro will be capable of delivering ordnance from, say, about 200 miles, give or take... While remaining completely invisible to all forms of detection, radar/sonar or whatever the man can come up with...
I should probably go to bed, I can feel the pastis wall coming on...

The Orange Tange is a custom one off. :(

I have yet to hear back about the black and white one.
