Title: What is this frame???
Post by: ProRaider on August 08, 2011, 12:01 AM
I got the bike 2nd hand around 1983. It had Kuwahara decals but they looked like they had just been stuck on. It had a nasty welding repair to the seat tube and it’s picked up a dent in the top tube. I would like to rebuild it but I think it will be quite a challenge.

Any idea?
I have had a look through the Museum but no joy.
Thanks Neil

The next project was this or the Ninja Scootech. I guess that is the decision made then. I will need to find a person to do the frame repairs as it can’t be left like that.
BIG Thanks for answering so quickly. You could have at least made it look like it was a challenge though

good luck building it up with cook's parts as they are worth huuuuuge bucks, but they are stunning when done.

As Carl just said, you need to speak to Phil Sawzall about getting that repaired possibly.

Nice find, they are pretty darn rare to say the least!

I was planning to do a cheap resto just to use as a hack, but it looks like that's out of the window now. I feel a bit bad for all the abuse it took when I was 7 now. It lost most of its origenal parts when it got stolen from underneath my mates Kuwahara outside the local shop. Luckly for me I spotted a kid riding it two years later (Thanks to the dodgy welding) and got it back.
