If so, good luck finding forks for it. :coolsmiley:

The Rickman is brazed though, easy to spot.

Post by: southern andy on May 03, 2011, 06:10 PM: My kuwahara Nova also looked like one but it did have "K" stamps and Kuwahara stamps in the frame.

Post by: monkian on May 03, 2011, 06:23 PM: Looks like a Tange Blue paint job. I'd probably go with a Kuwie Nova ???

Post by: OrgasmDonor on May 03, 2011, 08:32 PM: seat stays look too low to be a rickman
Title: Re: Frame ID
Post by: southern andy on May 03, 2011, 08:38 PM: I noticed that aswell but it could have been cut in its life.

The serial number and brazed welds will give it away straight away but i'm hedging my bets that it's a Kuwi of some sort.

Post by: OrgasmDonor on May 03, 2011, 08:43 PM: sorry, i meant, comparing yours to the kuwi, your seat stays are welded slightly higher and the kuwis look bang in middle of top tube end as does the blue frame, could just be the light tho :D

Post by: southern andy on May 03, 2011, 08:57 PM: Were there Kuwi Novas without stamps ????

Post by: stuntmaster on May 04, 2011, 05:43 PM: yes early ones , some early kuwahara`s didn`t have stamp`s ,looks like nova to me

Post by: Julian347 on May 06, 2011, 09:39 AM: Looks exactly the same as my 83 Nova. No "K" stamps and has a T (Tange) at the start of the serial. My first 'proper' BMX :smitten:
