Shame about the hubs and levers

is something going on with the forks? the gap at the crown looks not quite right maybe at an angle, although I'm not familiar with this setup.

That Tange switchblade is almost worth the asking price. Buy it and get a free Haro. But I agree with @sick-lizard about the condition of it, there's something not right about the assembly, looks like it has been messed with.

That’s not a Tange Switchblade, you can tell by the crown and the dropouts. It’s a ‘Switchfork’ which was a homage to the Tange version.

Great catch, I've never seen one of these before. I'm sure Tange was sooo flattered

Tange licensed the design from Keith Bontrager, so they were kind of doing the same thing themselves, but paying to do so

Cool bike.
Have the alloy hanging on a hook in the basement. Big slicks = lean them corners!

I think this fork is the typical Switchblade no-name variant from Enfeel as also used from Yokota, IKO/Corratec and Schauff for a while.

I remember picking one up as I was curious to see how heavy it was and it's definitely on the porky side, I'm sure in was in On your bike on Tooley street.
