It will be for a friend so won't dramatically differ from how it originally was, I had offered her an old Gary Fisher frame but she prefers a more classic look so we went with a Mixte. I'm mostly just going to upgrade all the parts to newer, lighter parts without going full carbon 12 speed on an...

In addition to my post in this thread from a few weeks back is a new Kuwahara frame. This time a beautiful to me Apollo rebranded mixte. It has the exact same sticker as my other two rebranded Kuwahara's being "Kuwahara Osaka Japan". It has the same stamp Made in Japan and Tange fork as my other...

um... they are obviously not v-brakes.

Having been watching a lot Paul Brodie's work on YouTube lately, i'm loving seeing this! It was interesting for Paul to share recently on his channel that Romax isn't short for anything, he just liked the sound of it, which I totally get.

Well, that would be even more desirable,

Thank you for having a look, I also have downloaded all of the catalogues on here and gone right through them without finding anything conclusive. Considering the size of Dawes and the breadth of communal knowledge associated with them and the fact I can't seem to find another example of this...

I appreciate these are not MTB's but they are Kuwahara so I hope they adhere to at least half of the requirements. I have two Kuwahara frames here, both rebranded by different companies. The first is a kieran frame, what is curious about this is that Kuwahara sold frames to Apollo who have a...

Thank you for the information regarding the lugs. I would think that given that it doesn't have eyelets on the frame ends is actually suggestive of its apparent application?

Hello, @Jam_SWorks, is the pink frame bag still available and would you be willing to post it to Australia?

Hi RetroBike - I'm new here, I had this posted in Retro MTB but was informed it may garner more traction here. I have a DAWES frame that I have long been intrigued about its heritage, I have trawled the internet to find out what model it is and have found nothing substantial so am hoping your...
