Wanted 1989 - 91 Kuwahara

[PhillB]

I'd be very interested in any of the big cats made by Kuwahara in the period 1989 - 91 - the funkier the paint job the better

Not one of the big cats, but a beautiful alternative from the right era:

A bit expensive, but maybe they would accept an offer.

Thank you for the link! That is a nice frame. Since posting this link I have actually managed to acquire a 1990 Leopard and a 1991 Tiger .... still on the look-out though ;-)

Good morning. I don't know if it would interest you but I have a Kuwahara Omega full Deore XT pretty original and in good use.

Hi Warrior, Thanks for letting me know - I've seen you bike on the other Kuwahara thread, it looks lovely! I'm afraid that I don't know much about the Omega model, but I would agree with that which Joglo has already replied about it's age.

Looking at the pictures, I have a feeling that it will be a little too large for me I don't have any bikes that I can't ride ;-)

Do you know what size it is? It looks like 21inch, but that is a guess from the photos. Cheers, Phill

Hi Phill,

The vertical tube is 52cm which is about 21".

My height is 1,70cm (about 5,7") and it is fine for me. In fact, I miss some space betwen the handelbars and the seat. To be comfortable I have to put my butt over the end of the seat.
