booring day so i looked in the shed today and scraped all the parts together
had this frame for a while waiting to be build

so i thought lets build it and see how far i can get

well here it is 1983 Kuwahara Nova
well used kashimax aero seat
Nos gt post with loads of shelfware
Tange seatclamp
Ame unitron copy grips
Nos set of dc 901 brakeset in white
sr aerox black stem
tioga beartrap headset
White skyway tuff wheels metal hubbed and rearcoasterbrake
Tuffneck spider and chainring
Takagi 175 opc
tange bottom bracket
front is a kuwi race tyre and in the back is a green labeled tioga comp3
fork tange arx

so you see its not all about nos, Its having fun building bikes

whas thinking about switching the seatpost for a kuwi layback and a white viscount seat .. what do you think ?

only needs some black kkt pedals and a black and chrome chain

Nice build for a boring day

Didnt think they made white ones with steel hubs. Thought the whites were all alloy hubbed as they came out in 83 IIRC). No doubt i will get shot down in flames now.
