Difference between Kuwahara 84 Nova & 84 Laserlite

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jt:
Hmm.

My nova doesn't have anything on the seat tube.

Neither does my greyserlite, or the lasershite.

My chrome laserlite does though.

There were also changes in tube shape on laserlites from memory.

There is more to this that meets the eye.

Both had kuwahara stamped down the seat tube

I've got an 84 laserlite and a supernova.. Thought they were the same frames. Both got stamped drop outs and kuwahara on the down tube. Turns out they've got differant down tubes. Striping down the nova tomorrow for SBD to work his wonders. I'll have a look :daumenhoch:

Reason I asked was, I was concerned if people could pass a 84 Nova off as a 84 Laserlite.

Its easy to spot the difference between an 83 Nova and 83 Laserlite.

I had an 84 nova and have an 84 laserlite, I bought the nova 1st thinking it was a laserlite.
I then found out about the tube thickness differences. When a bought the laserlite and had them both in my hands the only note able differance was the tubing as they were both stamped in the same places with the same bridge.
You could pass one off only to someone new to the hobby as I was at the time. The slightly thinner tube on the nova is the give away.
I think I still have the eBay pics of the nova I will have a look to see if you can make out the tube differance from them.
