Peter, in the '70s my cousin Rob build frames that he called Tanguy and sold a lot of them in his native D.C. -

I owned a Tanguy in the early '80's that was built for a local guy named Billy Nukols- had 531 DB main tubes and SP stays- cool bike! The head tube logo was a phoenix in flames. Weren't they out of the greater Boston area? I seem to remember them listed in the Boston yellow pages in the '70's when I worked in Portsmouth, N.H.
