Hey I used to have a red Typhoon, don't know whatever happened to it :) Mine didn't have a chain guard, I took it off when we were inventing mountain biking (of course, we didn't know we were at that time, we were just kids trail riding in the woods, much as we do today on our hand built full suspension mountain bikes :p ) That would have been around 1971-73, the same time period Gary Fisher was riding old bomber bikes down Mt.
