Vintage Carabela Tange Champion #2?
I have interest in this bike, it seems to be a rare find. Does any one have thoughts on it?

I'd be tempted, too, at least for the unique factor. I wouldn't expect to flip it at that price, though. Go take it for a test ride, maybe you'll like the ride characteristics.

I've never heard of the brand, but it seems an interesting bike. I like Tange 2, I think it's on the same plane as Reynolds 531. This is the 2nd post I've seen from you, have you got the flippers bug or something? Your area seems like uncharted waters,k so may be some good finds. I agree that at 200, it doesn't leave much room for a flip. Although, I could see it selling for upwards of 250 in my area with a good cleaning, a lot of touch-up, and good photos.

You don't see to many around and not much info.I picked one up last week,just frame,forks,headset,stem and bb cups for $90 and appears to be Italian threaded.$200 for a complete one is not too shabby.
