Serial number K9 05387. Suntour Superbe Pro rear derailleur, Suntour cyclone front derailleur, Shimano 600 sidepull brakes, Suntour Superbe crankset. Hot pink. "Handcrafted by Kawamura". i bought it used in 1985. it was probably made around 1980 in the US.
Hi akdave,
welcome to the forum.
You will need to talk to a frame maker about replacing dropouts. The frame maker will also be able to supply the dropouts.
About the frame. Is that the correct serial number? It is an odd format for Kawamura.
Has the frame been repainted and re-decaled? I don't recall a hot pink Tri-A.
