Title: Kuwi geusses
Post by: db-oldskool on April 05, 2007, 11:47 PM: Anybody got a guess as to what model this is? :-\
Maybe Adam or other Kuwi addicts. 8)
It's not mine,I just wondered if it were worth getting for under $100 shipped. ;)

Post by: Bob_Acid on April 08, 2007, 07:06 PM: It does look like a tange frame Ken, i'm not so sure about the forks though. For $100 if it is a kuwie you've had a score if it's not it's still a decent frame.

Post by: gavking on April 08, 2007, 08:16 PM: Frame and forks are tange by the looks of it!
I dont think its a kuwie. The forks aren't for sure they are definately tange.
Nice frame though.

Post by: gavking on April 09, 2007, 03:25 PM: rear drop outs say nova / forks are tange but the rear chain stay seems to be like one off a skyway (tear drop)
novas werent tear drop as far as I remember.

Post by: jonpaul11 on April 09, 2007, 06:29 PM: I'd say Tange, but maybe not a Kuwi...

chain stay are tange like - same as an areo pro burner, but you don't have the seat tube flare like an Aero Pro

I have a Tange Rhino Charge I picked up a few years ago that is very like this (mine has the seat tube flare at the bottom that this doesn't)

if it's a US frame, I'd say Cycle Pro??

- I know Tange supplied frames for them... still a good frame if not a Kuwi

Post by: jT Racing on April 10, 2007, 08:58 PM: i thought a nova was a looptail? forks look a bit tange/gt to me. looks like a kuwi, and has a flat brakebridge, that little fold on the dropout is like a kz-84. but the oval chainstays and the fact that the brakebridge is welded on top + that geometry ??? not a kz84. Not sure what it is.
