Title: Kuwahara Bravo KT Spec
Post by: monkian on February 08, 2016, 06:24 PM: Does anyone have a copy of the official spec for this? I found there's one in the October 86 Issue of Super BMX but it's not uploaded on the OSBMXMags site.

I know someone that's planning a build but If there's anyone on here with suitable parts, please just let me know.

Cheers, Paul😉
