[brilliantcodplayer]

[middletonmountain]

@brilliantcodplayer

iam interested in purchasing a ET Kuwahara

I live in Canada also

[Tek869]

Nice bikes, man. I have a Kuwi too. Apollo version though but it does say Kuwahara down the sides. My uncle has one as well KZ-1 or 2. I'm not sure. He's the one that gave me my Kuwi and got me into this hobby. He also has a SkyWay and RedLine.

[harosport87]

Nice bike! Do you ever run across a Kuwahara Magician? Haven't seen one since the late 80's.

[philipkwan83]

hey I have that chrome osaka kuwahara padset in near mint, any guess what that's worth? I'm guessing about a 100 USD

[netmatrix75]

U just need an Araya wheels to complete it. hahaha

[60spastlife]

I'm really diggin' the 83 and the 2.5s, especially the "rider" ET.

[brianwurst1234]

Kuwahara was a division of Schwinn?

[pfeitosa]

Back in the day I owned a Kuwahara Scamp, one of the best frames I've ever rode.

[INMY01TA]

I had a Kuwahara, chrome/blue with Maxy Cross cranks when I was a kid. Man I loved that bike.

[FuKnOveRkiLL]

Beautiful collection of OS Kuwa's you have. Love them Shimano DX's...sweeet!!

[ThunderHead72]

This is an amazing collection, I especially like the one at 2:33, I think it's the blue tires and blue metallic brake calipers that caught my eye. When I was a kid I had a red bmx that had blue snakebelly tread tires, oh the memories! Take care of those bikes, man! (And I had E.T. flashbacks watching this vid for some reason, lol!)

[cooknengr]

It's a aluminum, oldschool kick stand, made in the USA.

[andy86i]

what kickstand is on those bikes?

[saifulizhan]

laser post, laser bar, sugino one peace crank, elina seats, tange lock nuts....gosh i can still smell my childhood bike....this brings back memories

[TheSonicmule]

i miss my kuwahara laserlite it got stolen not long after i moved to australia it was a lightgreen my brother won it in a raffel held in lousiana at a bmx show

[swinnythekid]

Pure class my friend !

[MyTheatreCo]

Nice bikes i've got a Kz2.5 E.T. bike, i love your Kz2!

[paperisnice]

how much did your laserlite run you....and do you know the price of the new novas????you can find them on the kuwahara site

[cooknengr]

The frame ran me $550 or so, I got the rest of NOS parts during a trip to Borneo island. I think with the current market price, NOS part on the laser it's in hte $2000 range,

[Rosco6767]

I had the Kuwahara Magician Expert back in the late 80's.  Loved that bike, but some asswipe stole it from the local 711 lol.

[envygrunge]

Hi , those of the days .You got a cool collection , I used to have a KZ frame with own assembled parts , but got stolen 18 years ago . I really want that ET the whole set , though its actually a high tensile still frame , its REALLY got that nostalgic value , My friend and i dying to find one of these recently . Sugino stem , Dia compe brake all that , drooling while thinking it lols . Are u in BMX musuem web too ?

[swinnythekid]

shimano pedals ? fuck that get bear traps ! nice bike dude.

[cooknengr]

These are oldschool bikes, Kuwahara is Japanese brand, so I thought Japanese parts would be more appropriate. The Shimano pedal goes with the Shimano DX crank sets which are extremely rare. Btw, the last Shimano DX pedal I saw on ebay was $500 a pair ...

[cooknengr]

Someday..I'll post on BMX museum.

[matbulem]

Awesome, just awesome. That ET elina seat, I had one, and the Dia Compe brake levers..too. I wish to restore one !

[scooksley]

I remember getting mine like it was yesterday... instead it was 1984!

Had beartrap pedals, mushroom grips and Z-rims. Many a happy injury was caused by the KZ1 :-)

[INMY01TA]

I had one of these 25 years or so ago. Maxy Cross cranks, had the Cal Lite Kuwahara pads, I loved that bike.

[tubemech]

Gorgeous on two wheels man, nice one.

[blondes4mee]

AWESOME bikes! I have one that you don't have there... the 1984 Kuwahara Survivor 2.5, that came out in the same Laserlite frame. The best bike I have ever have!! I'd rather loose a leg than my Kuwahara.

Thank you for sharing this nice video. Goes directly to my Favorites. 10 stars!!!

[nuskaha]
