Finally finished my Kuwahara Exhibitonist 1984.

Bought this from a seller in the states back at the start of the year:


Sent it away to for a new paint job.
Got some Kuwahara Exhibitionist decals done in Turquoise for the build.
Spent all year trying to source nice parts for it as i wanted to do it in a White and Turquoise theme, eventually tracked down a set of Z-Rims in Turquoise and also scored a NOS set of Suzue Hubs in Turquoise too.
Found a old battered Kuwahara Freestyle Stem and restored it back to its former glory.
Parts List:
1984 Kuwahara Exhibitonist Frame and Forks
Kuwahara Laserlite Seatpost
Kuwahara Freestyle Stem
Hutch Mike Dominguez Freestyle Bars Rechromed
NOS ACS Turquoise Z-Rims ( one is a Fred Blood, nightmare to find a full set of either in this colour )
NOS Suzue Hubs in Turquoise
Tioga Comp Pool in White
Oakley O-Wings in Turquoise
Redline 401 Single Pinch Cranks with Redline Classic 44T Chainwheel
Shimano DX Pedals Polished
Dia Compe FS 880 Full Brakeset
Dia Compe MX Seatclamp in White
Tange 320 Headset in Chrome
White Chain
Turquoise Seat

Really enjoyed doing this one even though it has taken me an age to do it, anyway have a look, is it a worthy Oldschool Freestyle build?

Outstanding!
My only advice is to shorten the front brake cable and tilt the levers at a downward angle for a less distracting look.

Beautiful! Now that is a build you don't see everyday and in colors that look awesome together. Well done!

Wow Sweet bike! The Exhibitionist is one of my Grails. I really like the color combo. I especially love the turquise O wings! (Man I wish Oakley would start making grips again.) I am with Pauly though regarding the brake levers...

White & turquoise....outstanding color combo.

What a frame, those double down tubes make me all weak in the knees.
