are we to 'assume' that the new Tango frame has lifetime warranty due to the 41thermal process? That would be quite an assumtion, but I dont see how it wouldn't have the warranty. The limited lifetime warranty (flatland only) isn't listed in the "detailed description" as of 4/18/2012 @10:05am, whats going on here?
warranty or no? as an engineer I'm not allowed to assume anything, but the warranty is definitely a selling feature! someone please advise so I can scoop one up for my collection!

"All these products are made using Odyssey’s trusted 41 Thermal Heat Treating process and Lifetime warranty so you know these are going to hold up to even the toughest of Flatland riding. Look out for these to be available worldwide now or in the near future."

Answered my own question. Found the info here:   http://themerged.com/2012/04/17/new-flatware-frames-and-hobby-bars/


I still think the warranty should be added to the description on flatlandfuel though! cheers all

That's the only other frame I'd ride right now. Guess your finally stoked 13.25"?

the longer frame is more street oriented as they say, but if you ride street with it, is it still guaranteed? i guess not, but i don't know.

I went from a Collier to a Waltz, and now Flatware has combined the two.  Frames look great!  The Tango looks tasty!  Now I just need to crack my Waltz to justify getting a new frame... :P

New Flatware Frames: Tango and Waltz
« Reply #11 on: April 19, 2012, 10:04:03 PM »
No we didn't put the same photo there twice ;-) They are actually 2 different frames. The new version of the Waltz frame and the new Tango frame. The geometry of the Waltz frame remains unchanged, it was just updated with a straight downtube. The Tango frame has a slightly different geometry. The head angles are the same but the seat angle is different and the Tango has a longer top tube (19.5") and chain stay (13.25") to fit your street riding needs better. Check out the parts section for all the details: Tango and Waltz.

the tango frame is dope. why so many companies slept on that design for so long is beyond me. the market has literally been screaming out for that exact design.


19.5
good read end.
not too tall standover - but not tiny also
simple design.




why has it taken so long for someone to make this? all you have to do is look at the customs PiR is putting out to see this design is clearly in demand.
