1984 Kuwahara Exhibitionist
« on: June 19, 2013, 12:29 AM »
Original chrome, original decals. I picked this up from the original owner who has had it from new. It has hung in his shed since 1987.
I was very 'anal' with this build, as it is the bike I have always wanted so, all dated items, Seat, Calipers, Levers and Cables are dated 1984, the year of release for this frame set, apart from the pedals, which are dated 1983.


After a bath and a polish...








The nickel has started to show in some places but, overall, it looks lovely. The decals are original too 

The 'obligatory' pre-build shot...



Parts list...

  • NOS Black Kashi Aero
  • NOS Black MX1000's
  • Black genuine Skyway Tuff pads
  • NOS Dia Compe cables
  • NOS Tech 4 levers
  • Sharp lever grips
  • A'me double bubble font grips
  • NOS Tioga SC-2 seat clamp
  • NOS Suntour head lock
  • NOS Tange MX-2 headset
  • Kuwahara stamped Nitto stem
  • NOS Sugino one piece crank
  • NOS Kuwahara stamped power disc
  • NOS Pro Neck chainring
  • NOS Sugino chainring bolts
  • ACS Stoker pedals
  • NOS Tioga BB
  • KMC Z510s chain
  • Mint first gen stamped coaster Skyways
  • NOS ACS Freecoaster
  • Tioga Comp Ramp tyres

Finished at last :D
























Thanks for looking

You are absolutely correct, it was a stunning build, I can't believe I didn't comment before. I am sure it got BOTM though...could be wrong.  :daumenhoch:
Oh, and you will NEVER catch me on fb  ::)

agreed, great build. I think Kuwi's look fantastic in chrome, but I don't usually like freestylers in all chrome, but this looks really good.
