Vintage JDM BMX
 
Just picked this up from a buddy who restored it and is a pretty hardcore rider. he is just plain bored of it , too scared to ride it because it is pretty rare. I have wanted one forever , but unwilling to fork out $700 to $1500 for one.


Kick ass.. 80's Kuwahara Bravo Pro.

weird looking pegs half way up the forks? that frame looks pretty damn weak too, but i guess it is old as hell.

I vaguely remember Kuwahara's. My first real bike was a Elf Doublecross and then last was a Standard STA. We used to alot of the original Standard riders live around here. Hell, my wife used to work with Dave Friemuth's wife and I used to go out with the sister of a rider sponsored by Etnies. The bike back then didn't take as much of a beating like they do now.

LOL, this brings back memories. I had a kuwahara magician about in about 88. Grey and pink, but the thing that made it cool to all the other kids was the fs stem, so you could spin the bars, blew peoples minds. I also had another kuwahara that was blue with white lettering and white tires. Can't remember the name of it to save my life though. More of a race style bike then the freestyle magician.

---- I'm old...

I saw my Kuwi go for $800 on ebay a few weeks ago...

i think i am gonna hang it above my big screen in the off season and use it for a pit bike for GRM and autocrosses.

gonna look for a set of cheap skyway wheels for it as well.

Do you remember the movie Bmx Bandits?
I've been looking for it for ever and can't find it. I believe this is one of Nicole Kidman's first movies.

I have great respect for all you 20"ers, I wish I would have raced bmx when I was younger.
But, 26>20

One of my favorite bikes was a Kastan cruiser with Cook cranks and nuke proof hubs. All this BMX talk is making me want another bike. Too bad I just sold my Crupi squares last month I had for like fifthteen years.
