Kuwi freestylers, exhibitionist, bravo, magician...
« on: January 07, 2013, 02:58 PM »
It was good to get back home to the UK for Christmas to finally get a few more of the kuwahara bikes I had got built up. The exhibitionist had come all the way from the states about 3 months back so I was looking forward to seeing it in the flesh for the first time.
The guy I got it from picked up the frame and forks as a survivor set from a bike shop owner and had also collected most of the parts to build it up with.
The frame actually had a lot more scratches and scuffs but a bit of time spent with 2000 grade wet and dry and then some careful polishing brought it up nice. Still some deep scratches but overall a nice survivor in a rare colour. Also some minor peeling to the edge of the decals but it would be a shame to replace them I think.
I have only seen 2 other exhibitionists in this colour.
Most of the parts including the coaster tuffs and the tioga stadiums were NOS . Sorry bout the crappy pics, not a single dry day to get the bikes outside  >:(





Also included are the white bravo KT, the baby blue bravo and a magician survivor I picked up just needing a set of wheels. All the bikes need a few finishing touches but overall i`m happy with them at the minute. :daumenhoch:





Thanks for havin a look.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Spen the guy I got it off said it originally cam from an owner of a bike shop in the US. He had collected all the parts you see to build the bike up but must of had a change of plan or just needed the funds. The colour is really nice, would have been good to get it out in the sun for some good photos but I was only home for 2 weeks over Xmas and the sun didnt show lol

Not much I will change on it apart from the rusty chainring bolts lol. I have a 400 crankset being re chromed at the minute, maybe try that on to see what it looks like  :daumenhoch:

Really nice bikes,

I just scored a bravo kt from the states myself , the guy selling it said it was his dream bike & had started to restore it in a similar Purple to the exhibitionist above. When it arrived it had a top coat straight on to the metal so I've had to strip it back.  Still deciding on colours but im thinking baby blue white & chrome !
