nice - love a chrome Kuwi

couple of suggestions that won't cost anything but will help in the looks dept
- slide the seat back on the rails a bit
- get that stem down in the headtube (apart from looking a bit iffy it will flex more sitting high like that)

No it's the second model of the KYZ, similar to the ET. See info here;  http://kuwahara-bmx.com/kuwahara-kyz/
