Down tube next with it being an 08 model Typhoon :-

 

I'm perfectly willing to accept otherwise as I never followed them too closely, but isn't that a TP rather than the Typhoon?
From the year they suddenly went from doing just Typhooons to doing the TP, LE and DD all at once?

I thought even the latest of Typhoon's gusset stopped a bit further up the downtube and had a more gentle curve between toptube and seatstays.

Doesn't matter either way, but curious as to the accuracy of my memories now :lol:

You could well be correct, I just remember that particular frame being prone to cracking/snapping at the end of that top/down tube gusset :D 

The older frames were lovely and strong

Pretty sure TP was known for the typhoon back then ;)

I'm referring to the year of production when the model name listed on sites became TP rather than Typhoon. 

They're of the same lineage, yes, but I was asking about the distinction between the 08 Typhoon and TP.

It was the 20s that snaped due to the bashplate mounts :)
