**Whats This worth?** Kuwahara OPC
« on: August 26, 2013, 08:34 PM »
I have not long ago bought a bike that I am putting 3pc cranks on and this Kuwahara OPC came on it. I haven't seen many about and wondered what kind of  market value it would have.?

Thanks for any info in advance  :coolsmiley:

Nice bike that Vitus, not often you see them with the original forks too  :daumenhoch:
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

I know .. I have been after one for years...There was NOS one went through Ebay a few years ago and I got outbid!!!! I have a nice Camp 3pc for it and this is surplus and I doubt I will build another Kuwie any time soon.

Are the forks Campy too? I am sure I saw one at MK13 ?

Pretty sure the forks are Vitus, i remember seeing the forks you are on about but i think someone just stuck a cool campy sticker on.

Did a bit of digging as I remember Jaymz taking a piccy of the forks. (think you could be right about the decal) The one I just bought is the only the 3 rd I have seen in 5 years. The 1st was n ebay and went for £700 plus but as I say was NOS and the second was the one in the pic below. So chuffed to finally own one.

Does anyone know who's bike the one below belongs to?

I used to have a NOS Vitus I saw that one on ebay and they are the original Vitus Forks :daumenhoch:

I would be very interested in taking that Kuwahara crank off you, cash or trades :)

Its yours Ian and I am up for trade and a sale either way. I have a few little bits I am after so once i have it in my hands in the next couple of days I will fire some piccies over and see if there if we can do a deal  :daumenhoch:

Do you have any info on these bikes? Were they only for the Peugeot Levis team?
