Came across this new-school Kuwahara 24" cruiser at this site named kuwahara-bike.com and I must say that we are kind of surprised. Frame and fork is made of 4130 chromoly steel but the thing that surprised us the most was the choice of names for the cruiser - Survivor. Not only that, check out the gussets on the part where the downtube meets the top-tube. They do not look anything like the Kuwahara's of old. And the front wheel is radial-laced. Something tells me that this could be a recreational bike, something for the average leisure ride. we have been asked if these models are for sale in Singapore but honestly, I do not know. What I do know is that there is some hope for Kuwahara if they do make some models out of 4130 chromoly instead of the ever ubiquitous aluminium. Cheers to Kuwahara on that one!
