Haven't seen it in the flesh yet.I'll get him to send some pics over.

Ask him if it has 25 001 plus some other numbers under the BB.

If so, good luck finding forks for it.

Rickman Pro.

The Rickman is brazed though, easy to spot.

My kuwahara Nova also looked like one but it did have "K" stamps and Kuwahara stamps in the frame.

What a tease, Andy...

Nice Kuwi

Looks like a Tange Blue paint job. I'd probably go with a Kuwie Nova

seat stays look too low to be a rickman

southern andy · « **Reply #12 on:** May 03, 2011, 08:38 PM »

I noticed that aswell but it could have been cut in its life.

The serial number and brazed welds will give it away straight away but i'm hedging my bets that it's a Kuwi of some sort.

OrgasmDonor · « **Reply #13 on:** May 03, 2011, 08:43 PM »

sorry, i meant, comparing yours to the kuwi, your seat stays are welded slightly higher and the kuwis look bang in middle of top tube end as does the blue frame, could just be the light tho

Deffo a Kuwi Nova mate

southern andy · « **Reply #15 on:** May 03, 2011, 08:57 PM »

Were there Kuwi Novas without stamps

?

stuntmaster · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2011, 05:43 PM »

yes early ones , some early kuwahara`s didn`t have stamp`s ,looks like nova to me

Looks exactly the same as my 83 Nova. No "K" stamps and has a T (Tange) at the start of the serial. My first 'proper' BMX
