Hi guys, Could any Kuwahara experts help me out, is this a KZ1 or not??
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280211008661
Bought on impulse without checking, guy was genuine but after looking on the kuwahara site I'm beginning to doubt its authenticity. Rear drop outs not like those on the Kz1 but like the KE, but then has double gusset???
Don't really know much about Kuwwi's but always liked them as a kid!! Help needed!! :( :daumenhoch:
HEEELP!!! :idiot2:
Thanks
Graham

kuwahero:
not a KZ1 im afraid mate. its probably an Akisu frame which you've paid a bit much for.

youngy:
Right, I've checked on the Jamies Kuwahara site and the drop outs vary on the KZ1, some have the holes but on the red one in BMX Action magazine has the one like mine, also the serial no. on mine begins with T( can't rememeber rest!!) which makes it Tange made so I think it is a KZ1 and the seller is saying this is what he bought it as.
Thanks for help and all replies appreciated

kuwie did make the early kz1 `s  with the even earlier style  rear ke-1 dropouts  , call it the change over if u like ,,  tange made the early kuwies and were stamped with "T" at the start of the serial number .. nice kz1 u have there  :daumenhoch:

kuwahero:
I stand corrected. it was the rear dropouts that made me think not a KZ1 in first place.  :-[

youngy post some better pics when you get it mate.
