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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter either way, but curious as to the accuracy of my memories now 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 The older frames were lovely and strong Edited July 10, 2019 by SamKidney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Pretty sure TP was known for the typhoon back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're of the same lineage, yes, but I was asking about the distinction between the 08 Typhoon and TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
