You should see the front room - fortunately shes on a shoot in Manchester this week. You can safely guess that if I post build threads, the wife is away

shoot?? I'm imagining lingerie, don't say it's clay pigeons??

If my wife shot a 12 gauge she'd fly 20 foot backwards, she's only a size 6. No lingerie either i'm afraid... furniture

I can't think of one I have which might help , it would be cool with a Haro type 2 or Neal Type 2 style ( link below ) , Saber , Zeronine stadium . Your black/gold Kuwi would look super cool with a black/yellow Hot plate like I've got on my gjs .

Yes i have the same plate for the black and gold one with an OG Kuwahara Grand National sticker on it...

Loving the blue and chrome. The cranks turned out great.

Chrome and Blue

Looks real nice Chris

KeithyT · « **Reply #36 on:** April 11, 2013, 03:53 PM »

Has this one got the finishing touches yet Chris?

Not that it looks unfinished in that final pic

Jaan · « **Reply #37 on:** April 11, 2013, 04:55 PM »

Finding HF blue Suntour hubs is going to take a while and the tyres are on their way but I think they've been strapped to the back of a donkey that can't swim.

I've got an OG Neal plate coming

and i'm contemplating a blue Elina LB seat for 100% authenticity - I can't bring myself to put decals on the blue one currently on it...

KeithyT · « **Reply #38 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:06 PM »

Cool, they both look very good to me.

I've just started to look at the Neal race plates for mine too. Would be nice to get one.

Loads of repops about if you don't mind one of those you can pick them up for £30-£40...

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #40 on:** April 11, 2013, 06:39 PM »

I gotta say Chris, I am liking this a little better than the Black one

It has more of a....race/aggressiveness to it, whereas the black one, is more show pony looking.

Not taking anything away though, they are both beautiful looking bikes and you can see the effort gone into them

Typically I can't find one only this guy that seems to list them from time to time

He's claiming its 20+ years old but OG Team Kuwi colours like that one would start around $150...
