It's got two on the back and two on the front. Maybe it just looks similar because they are both Japanese and from the same era? This one is Tange MTB tubing for the frame and Tange 2001 for the fork, both dropouts are Tange as well. Maybe they came from the same factory? Despite the little differences and your sexier seatstay treatment they seem to share something. Anyway I was actually considering a build like yours before I went in a different direction so now I get to see what it would have looked like!
