AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH, OOOOOOMY GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWDDDDD

Just kidding

Actually it's not that ugly, i quite like it TBH , like the Ginger one in Girls Aloud

stickers and forks need to be brown to match and the mech needs liberating of its upper jockey bit on the cage

Not much wrong- saddle is prob just a shade to big and I'm not a fan of the holy crankguard thingamy but the rest I like loads, bars and stem and brake combo is very sexy- yeah baby. Know what you mean jimi the Ginger one would def. Get it but I would be thinking about the Geordie bird

I think the forks aren't helping, but maybe not brown possibly black. Aye and the wee jockey bit is annoying now you've pointed it out

So I'm thinking black forks black saddle black bartape. I also think the stems annoying me too maybe a forged one :? would be better. I reckon I could do with a tad more reach anyway but the rise is fine for the bars.

And defo ginger before the rough one, and I'd be thinking of Kimberly

A little more info on Kuwahara, please Kaiser.

Looks a little Jamis-ish...and I mean that in a good way.

The original crankset (repainted) would look better than what you've got on it now, the chainguard thingy is too thick. Agree about the fork too, although it didn't look out of place with the black crankset and smaller bars. Get shot of the gold lettering on the stem.

Side-on is it's least flattering view, the bars don't look nearly as awkward in the other photos. Get those tyres back on from the original photos too, they make a difference.

That sounds better, maybe less of a Nicola Roberts and more a Sarah Harding then , probably never be a Cheryl Cole though

My company info is sketchy, bar they are japanese and IMO were the coolest BMX's going. The mountain bike history is quite hard to pinpoint but there is a thread on VRC thats quite interesting. This one has some nice touches, the seat cluster/clamp is pretty neat and it had double bottle cage bosses on the down tube which I find cool So far the thread hasn't elicited mcuh/nil info on Kuwahara which I thought it would, as I say there were big in BMX and there are some really nice bikes out there.

The crank has found its way on to the muddy fox but the silver wheels/mech/chainset is one of the bits I don't mind. Was never a fan of chaingaurds either but the ring is a orrible steel biopace and this is the lesser of two evils especially as it haas the dual function of hopefully keeping the chain on as well. Agree with you as well on the tyres, never liked too skinny a tyre on a mtb but it is for semi offroad/CX so they're staying too though I have some 1.95 duster pro's coming that come up slim just not as much as the conti's. Reckon the whole stem might get changed too, just a bit too stumpy.
