..well as always, the color of Mag does not quite fit.
i think that's just astonishing! it's like a 90's Fox on a very severe "trip"
as it's '92 and japanese and the frame does it ALL!!!!
XC Pro MD throughout (or XC Comp as close as it gets)
if you really wanted to shock-clash go for the champagne anno (not the silver)
that'd be crazy man like...

First I must look how I get in a 1 inch fork in a 1 1/8 inch steerer! ..but I've here a special reducer headset.

Kuwahara is already full of details! integrated seat clamp, the special cable routing, or this (what is it? :?)

What does it weigh? Looks like it's floating!

Cool bike - I thnk the forks match in a crazy kind of way - you can get a new crown for them on here/ebay easy enough.
That clamp looks like a an Mt Zefal pump holder - is a kind of plastic jubilee clip design - I'd remove it - stupid place to put a pump unless you ride in dusty conditions (mud trap).
I'd build it with full Deore XT with as may black parts (brakes/cranks/hubs etc) as you can find and black anno rims with some nice skinwall tyres
Looking forward to your build

I may spray a bit of purple on it (but I can't colour transitions as well)tintin40":2sfsmr78 said:Raging_Bulls":2sfsmr78 said:Nader":2sfsmr78 said:
Well ... the first thing I'd do with them involves some paint.
thinking the same
I have not weighed it but it is extremely light (should not be confused with steel kuwahara)Tc":2sfsmr78 said:

The last owner said, the seat tube is 27.2, but my XT 27.2 seatpost doesn't fit. :?

is also good idea! with black xt 730/732 hubs and panaracer or ritchey skinwalls
(but perhaps now is the time for anything else! suntour, campa or mavic)
some more pics ...
