Vintage 80's Kuwahara gets built up into its former, now retro, glory.

Ride along as we adorn this classic MTB with dia compe and suntour components to revivify this beauty to it former glory. The groupset is a bit newer than the frame but so is the usage. As we build up this bike into the steel wonder it was in the 1980's and more.
