Ishiwata and Tange tubing

From the retrogrouch :-)

The common alloy used for bike frames were chrome-molybdinum which is referred to as ChroMo. I didn't know Manganese was used on some tubing until I ran into this blog. The alloy is called Mangy.
The link above shows how the Ritchey Logic came out of the Tange Prestige tubing.
