I've never seem-in person or on CL- a Kuwahara here in south Louisiana. What tubing did they use?
The cromo rigid mtb (especially name brands like Trek)and to some lesser extent the decent ones with suspension forks are steady sellers here in NOLA. Now that I think of it ,I probably mainly sell the Treks. It is much easier to sell a Trek than the equivalent Diamondback or even Specialized Hardrock. I don't sell many Schwinns, because I don't find many decent cromo Schwinns of any type(26 or 700c). Folks who want them for transportation-students and younger adults-aren't bike nuts, so they buy what they have head of- or have owned before.
The 700, 800, and 900 series Treks sell well, but the 700 series(700c wheels, but otherwise much the same as the 800, 900) are too expensive to buy and sell for a profit now-they have been discovered.
So where do you find these Kuwaharas and what tubes do they use?
Thanks
Charlie
