Title: Kuwahara Cruiser
Post by: Jt on September 18, 2009, 10:05 PM: been playing with this for a bit...had to make do with some elf blast bars, due to worldwide shortage of kuwie ones...

everything is there of there abouts...400's, xc11's...gearing is 41/18

quite like it and a worthy addition to the fleet

cheers to those involved in sourcing the hard bits :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
