Title: Help with some Kuwahara? forks
Post by: Bigplinky on February 04, 2012, 07:35 PM

Right just bought these on a whim as they weren't very much and I needed some OS forks for a frame. First question are these Kuwahara? bit confused as they don't have a brake hole but the weld quality looks good and the decals look original.

Any help appreciated.

I saw these, did'nt think they were Kuwahara :-\.
As I thought all Kuwahara Forks were Tange made, although description does say Kuwahara, see if there is anything on the steerer tube when you get them.
Put some close up pics when you get them, may suprise all of us.
Still look a nice fork though. :daumenhoch:

Freeagent or Revcore I reckon and I would say expert/junior as the "tail" under the steerer crown is very short and undrilled  ???

Yeh the drop out shape is Freeagent ish. Not a problem if they turn out to be juniors as the little'uns next bike could do with better forks  ;)
