Tribute Kuwahara Build

(1/9) > >>

Swivel:
Hi all. I got this frame on the bay recently for ?70 and I love the look of it, very similar to a Kuwi KE1 with the dropouts but also the gusset, which is like a Tange Rhino as it's a double gusset. I've already got a Tange Rhino so thought i'd do something with this.

So I found some forks in the stash and then got the heat gun out and removed the decals.







The chrome is pretty shot so I intend to clean it up the best I can, then with a scotch pad, lightly rough it up and then spray it with VHT Blue Paint.

I will post up more pics soon after the spray job.

Aim with it is to get something kinda like this...

Bargain at ?70, looks a good frame for a nice little project. Any idea what it actually is? 🤔

Taipan:
Should work out cool for a tribute and not gonna break the bank either  :daumenhoch: btw the VHT paint is more like a glass paint so may show up more imperfections unless the f+f set is super smooth to start?  ???

Hi. I did think that too, so might have to try another paint instead and leave the VHT for the calipers  :daumenhoch:

Hi mate, I was surprised no one else bid on it? Not sure what the frame is, welds are good and neat, very Tange like  ;)
