Sorry for the poor Pics, the weather is shite & the neon really doesn't get picked up on the I-phone but heres a few pics on the Kewi.

I can't explain how bright this bike is & the Pink Hutch is looking insane & it's well on the way ( I'm just making a decision on a few part options) I'm not too keen on the direction I've gone on the GT though so might completely re do this. Judge for yourself the part pic is at the bottom & I'll post pics of the Hutch later in the week !

Parts list: 1986 Kuwahara Bravo KT :

Frame /Forks /Freestyle Bars/ Layback
Grips: Am'e Tri
Stem: Anlun Made Kuwahara Freestyle Stem
Rotor: Acs
Seat: Viscount Dominator
SeatPost Clamp : Kuwahara
Callipers: DC 880's
Levers: DC Tech 6
Chainring : Kuwahara
Cranks: Redline Flight 175
BB: Redline
Chain: KMC (Silver)
Pedals: Bear trap
Wheels: OGK
Tyres: Cheng Shin Whitewalls 20 x 1.75
Powder: Super Bike Dan
Decals: Del.

Not sure about this one, think I'll ditch the pink & the pads & go white all the way !

Im loving the KT. :daumenhoch:I think the performer will look cool with pink or white. 8)If you go with pink maybe pink seat and grips aswell?looking forward to seeing it built up.

Cheers Mate, my issue with the pink on the GT is that you can only really have 1 shade of a colour on a bike otherwise it starts to look messy, the same as with the blue purple on the pads & Ive not been able to source decals to match the colours on the pads & the brakes (exactly) which to be honest i didn't think would be a problem when i started out on this one.

Think I might sell of the pads & all of the pink bits & look at a different colour combo ! This is where i got with it today.

That kuwie looks cool.

Funkyworm · « **Reply #38 on:** March 10, 2013, 09:58 AM »

Thanks for the compliments on these guys !,

Still a way to go on the GT I think, might have to live with this colour combination for a few days to see if I get used to it i reckon. Should have the Pink Windstyler finished this week too just waiting for some brakes to arrive from Jai & I think I'm good to go on that one (got a load of parts in black & white & Just trying to decide which colour to go with or a combination of both).... $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

Not a fan of the tyres but I love what you've done with the KT!

deeman · « **Reply #40 on:** March 10, 2013, 12:03 PM »

x2 on the tyres but apart from that the kuwie is stunning!I like the pink on the GT,as said before a pink grips and seat would tie it in better.Have you been in touch with Del about decals?he should be able to do you a set to match which will again tie the pink in

Theres nothing more 80's & Freestyle than whitewalls, I love em, & theres some on my next build too. Cant really speak about GT decals on here as GT don't like people to re-produce them without a license but needless to say the appropriate people have been contacted but they cant do the same pink ...

Good looking rides there

OK Well heres the Pink Hutch !

Ok I've also added this to the Unfashionable Hutch's from 87 thread too as there was a lot of love for this frame set when i first posted it on here.

I've not gone for top of the line parts on this one but for me it works, have to admit i changed the spec on this build 3 times, (white brakes & white dominator, then a hi cal- black & white style seat. (Black hutch spider & chain ring /white hutch spider & chainring) different stems etc etc etc.....

it's had all sorts of parts tried but i've gone with my original colour concept & I'm stoked with the results even though i'm sure there will be some backhanded comments on this one.

NOS Hutch Ladder bars
Hutch donut
Super Lush Pink Powder imported from the USA & painted by Dan
1988 Nos Windstyler Decals

NEW Redline Twin Pinch & BB with custom Hutch decals
NOS CD chainring
NEW Bear trap Pedals
NEW Tuffs with Dicta freewheel
