Just bought myself an old kuwahara track frame.
It has Ishiwata EX tripple butted crmo tubes with suntour dropouts.

I was wondering if anyone had any information about these frames or if you anyone else owns one? I have only found a handful of information about them so anything you know is most helpful!

Cheers

I believe that Toyo made all the frames for Kuwahara.

I had a Nova (back in '84), as for their track frames, I've only ever seen old frames with re-issue decals.
It'd be nice to see an original oldie.

thanks guys! ill post pictures in the current projects thread when i get it all together!
Ive found the re-isssued decals but there a few different sets so i think ill just leave it as is.
If i do get it re-sprayed ill get it done in the same color again. aint no puppy killa!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
