Which Kuwahara?

(1/2) > >>

MattC:
I have owned this bike for a while now, and never actually known which model it is!! :-[ I am told it could be a Nova or a Bravo? It is a 1985 model and is stamped under the bottom bracket with frame number K5H00833 "Product of Japan" and has the Kuwahara "K" on both rear drop outs and the logo "Kuwahara" on the rear brake bridge. It is a great rider and very lightweight. Spec wise it has Araya aero rims, suntour large flange hubs, Kuwahara laser post & seat, Full width Kuwy bars, Suntour stem, MX1000 brake and Shimano dx lever. Kuwahara Laserdisk, and Izumi white chain. I am considering selling it, but any help regarding its ID would be appreciated.

Cheers.  :daumenhoch:

Wow "August 1985", im impressed Bodamus! Did you get that info from the  5 and 8 in the frame number??

bodamus:
No the 5 is for the year 85 the H is the Month August , A= January, B= February and so on.

The rest of the digits are the serial/production number.

 :smitten: lovely bike matt. I have a bravo kt which is the freestyle version of this model with a kicktail behind the seat.

bodamus actually got the date from the 5 and the H. 5 = 1985 with 0 being 1980 and so on and H = Aug with A = January and so on

let us know if you decide to sell. may be interested at the right price
