What!  Inspired by a Canadain!!!  Who would of thought???  Nice work here Mike.  Definately one of the museum's finest builds.  All your hard work paid off.  Congrats on a killer build.  smile

Re: 1979 Kuwahara KE-1

Thank you guys. I am humbled that you think so highly of it. To be honest, I cringed the  first time the brake pads touched the rims. Now that that's over, I can tell you its light, fast, and super smooth.

Thanks. Im actually thinking of selling it. At 6'1 its a little to tight for me without a lay back seat post, and i dont want to risk any damage to it by putting one on.  I wont part it out though, so I need just the right buyer.
