it has a large downtube...made in Taiwan sticker on crank bracket, serial # on rear as shown??? what is it? this frame is the equivalent of the UJM for motorcycles(Universal Jap Bike)---thanks

the downtube is same tubing as the steertube...any thoughts?

I don't know what it is but I have a 16" version of that frame !!

can i see your forks if they match the 16 frame? I may be able to figure it if I know the forks for it?

my bike has identicle rear dropouts but the serial # is under the crank
but it had a plate behind the crank instead of that little piece of tube
i've seen another similar to mine and i think it may of been a roadmaster

Sorry, thats no Kuwahara....also sorry I have no idea what it is. The rear dropouts are just like the KE-1 bikes or some very early KZ-1 bikes. Kuwahara bikes were stamped under the BB and made in Japan. Is the brake bridge round or flat?

round brake bridge.

theres a similar one on ebay that claims to be a Kuwahara, but also is not. Maybe it will shed some light on this one
eBay

it may be a schwinn predator as shown below...any truth to this in your opinions??

I think akisu made frames like this and put many other brands on there, one frame , many different companies' decals.

I have 2 predators that look like that but with a "G" then 4 digits on the outside of the right dropout and the longer number like your (Minus the 84) on the outside of the left dropout. Hmmmmmm.

Forks on my son's 16"er are mini TRX forks. No safety holes either. Exactly the same as TRX but shorter.

I have a hotfoot frame like it, as well it is has a Taiwan sticker on bottom bracket. Same dropouts, serial number is on the top part of the dropout but.
The frame I have is a department type bike. I will take some pics

It's a rider!

COASTVL are your fork blades rounded?Are the bottoms stamped into the legs?

Yeah the ends are stamped in with drainage holes. The tubing is identical to trx forks. I have 3 sets of trx forks and are very similar. The bottoms are the only difference.
