This thing is weird, has KZ-1 gusset but KE-1 dropouts and KE-1 forks. Anyone got any ideas?

The link you posted is not working for me but it sounds like a very rare and early KZ-1 bike, the very first of the KZ-1 bikes actually came like this, I have seen a few of them before, they were phased out very early in life and Kuwahara started with those beefier drop outs and fork ends.

Hey Reece,

It might be the same my early KZ-1 hybrid model. I found out about it on Jamie's site. It was made in mid to late 1980 and used KE-1 forks and single hole in the rear drops, yeah? Here is a pic of my surivor! I am looking to sell or possible trade just in case anyone is interested???

Thanks,

Mike
