Kuwahara Nova - New Rider
« on: August 24, 2022, 03:26 PM »
Hi all. About 12 years ago I sold a lovely chrome Kuwahara Nova and regretted it ever since, like we do!  ::) So after much searching and posting up, Rich (Waxin) sold me his frame/forks. and then it was a good hunt around my stash for all of the Kuwi bits, the bars, seat post, etc.. only thing I couldn't find was the Kuwahara Power Disc but I used a decent Sugino one instead. So here she is, parts run down is:

- Kuwahara Nova frame / forks Tange stamped
- Kuwahara Pro Bars
- Kuwahara Seat Post
- Suntour Arrow Seat Clamp
- Araya Wheels
- Oakley B2 grips
- Dia Compe MX1000 Caliper and Cable
- Flite Donuts
- Kashi Seat (repop as its a rider)
- Comp 3 tyres (duro as it's a rider)
- Sugino Power Disc
- Sugino bolts
- Sugino 45t chainring
- Takagi 1 piece rechromed
- Tange bottom bracket
- Kuwahara brake guard
- Pro Neck 2 stem
- Tange headset
- KKT pedals
- Kuwahara Pad set
- Kuwahara decals (Del)
 

I hope you like it! It will be coming along with me to MK.

Kind regards

Matt  :daumenhoch:

Sweet rider!! :coolsmiley:

That looks great Matt, if I make it down to MK for a few hours hopefully I can take it for a few laps around the track for you  >:D :coolsmiley:

My brother Simon still has his from Christmas 1983. When they packed all his belongings into a container when he emigrated to Australia, he put it between 2 mattresses and told the packing team it was the most important item in the container  :2funny:
