I have seen that auction, but I'm sceptical about what it is. Sure it looks like a tange made frame and appears to be in good nick, but I have not seen a Kuwi with a serial number on the drop out and it also has a round tube brake bridge, most have a flat plate.

Could ask the seller for more info and see what he says?

Regards

Paul

ohh and it also has the brace behind the bb, the laserlites and super nova's etc don't have this.

i'm with Frosty on this one ;)
i also noticed the bridge behind the BB & serial number on the dropout!
possibly a Tange made frame, but they made frames & supplied tubing for quite a few different people bitd

the brake plate wasn't such a worry as my KZ1 has a tube, but i know my & all the other Lasers have a plate

i don't think its a Kuwie,but then i only really know about the models i've got!
click the logo in my sig below & browse Jamies site & see if you can find anything similar on there ;)

I like the bit     has the ke-125 drop outs as well.  A bit OTT isn't it! ;D

GMAC have a look at the KZ83 that is on the bay, this would be a good one to win as it has the ellusive laserbars!!

i've been watching that one myself, i'm not going to bid on it as i already have one but i reckon that will probably sell for over £250 maybe quite a bit more!
the last few seconds of that auction will be Hectic :o

it all depends how comitted you are to getting it :-\
you can either stay up late when it finishes & hope your finger is quicker than anybody elses or put a big bid (as high as you really want to go) into an auction sniper & just take a look in the morning!
either way good luck ;)

be nice to get another kuwie away from the septics ;D

I've just bought 4 other frame sets  :o   so I think I'm gonna let this one go, and hang on for an E.T   :)

Gotta let the smoke settle on my bank account   :-[  ;D
