Tuffs on a Kuwahara

[Swivel]

Anyone else done it? Would love to see what it looks like I'm thinking of scrapping my wheels for some alloy hubbed for my Nova. Just fancy that freestyle element to it as I'm not a race chap.

Yep 





Not really what you were looking for Matt, but any excuse

Kuwies have always been race bikes to me apart from the later ones where they did get all freestyle. Certainly to my mind the Nova is a race bike.

Black ones with alloy hubbed might not be so bad, but I'd stick with spoked wheels myself. I guess people did race with tuffs back in the day.

[Swivel]

Yeah I was going to wack on some black alloy hubbed tuffs.

Paul - that Kuwi looks amazing mate, just amazing! I recognise those bars 

[MartyC]

I'm pretty sure that a few guys bitd raced their Kuwies with Skyways; Darren Woods for one but I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time tonight

Matt, what sort of dumb-ass would strap black alloy-hubbed Tuffs to a 1983 Kuwwie Nova (well, actually a Chromo buner, but we all know it's the same Tange frame).....

Yep, meet my brother Simon (Hootski70 on here).......

Spen

ps - that Gen1 you and Paul lovingly put back together was his too mate

[Swivel]

Nice, its done then

I had some Tuffs on this Kuwi of mine for quite a while before moving to polished 7X's...      G.

Got to be done

[Gashead]

I remember a number of years back on the old site, seeing an illustrated book about the film ET and the bike had red tuff's on

That Kuwie freestyler is the fu*king nuts! Never seen another one in my life....

But imho, Tuffs dont work as well on race frames (except the TA), ,,

I've seen it in the flesh and it's even better than that fella - just hope Paul doesn't get it finished before the show'n'shine at MK or there's no point anyone else entering

I'd like to see that.  I may have to go on the hunt to try and track it down    G.

It was the done thing bitd. I'm still looking for a Kuwie for my Tuffs.
