I’ve been haunting eBay for NOS (New Old Stock) bargains for the old Kuwahara project and I’ve been having much success! I’m trying my best to keep it period and JAPANESE!
What a sight!
Japanese Dia-Comp MX120 lever.
SR pedals.
Turbo saddle – Made in Japan.
Under saddle detail.
Don’t you hate it when you miss parcels? Especially at this time of year.
I just got back from the post office, the que at Maroubra Junction’s post office is so bad it goes outside the shop and into the mall at times. I swear it’s a lesson in patience (which I had none of, but since hanging out in the que at the post office all year I’m getting better at!).
I was greeted by this box:
Redline BMX WTF! I got excited for a second. “Did I accidentally buy one of those too?” I thought to myself. Bahahaha. Check out how Strictly BMX tagged my name on the box. Awesome.
My Tuffs + freewheel. At $199 the wheels are going to be the most expensive part of the build (hard to swallow considering the bike was only $45! Strictly BMX chucked in some free stickers + a DVD too.
I got this dodgey cheap stem off eBay. Not sure if I feel good about it, we’ll see.
Oury grips. I’ve always wanted to try some Oury’s. I often read that these are the most comfortable grips in the world. Many people out there (both mountain bikers and fixie riders) swear by them.
More red bits (the gold cable end caps are for my Reign).
KMC chain.
Brake cable outters.
