I am finding bits and pieces. Unworthy1 seems to be right. I had just figured that kuwahara was the tubing fabricator not the bike company. Checking their history I can't find much about their road bike line. They didn't start exporting to the US until 72 and that was their BMX stuff. This one seems to be a 75. The SN was on the seattube #75-8-0005 and the date code on the cyclone derailleur is from june of 74. Their history also mentioned that they manufactured bikes for over 20 US manufacturers... So who is WOW. A guy at my LBS said something like "World of Wheels" or "World on Wheels" Strike a bell?
