Haven't posted in a while sorry guys, I've gotten busy. Still riding the Kuwie every day (well almost) and she missed you all and wanted to say hello.

Is there a definitive way of identifying the '88 Shasta? Does the group set and Ishiwata EX triple butted enough to id it as '88? btw, I also use Suzue hubs (low flange) with Ukai rims.
This only seems to apply to Japanese built Kuwaharas and Apollos... the Taiwanese produced bicycles do not have the serial number on the seat tube. |

Sixty Fiver,
Your Shasta and Cascade inspired me to fix up this bike. It is one tough cookie, decently equipped and I enjoy riding it :). Thanks, http://www.ravingbikefiend.com/bikep...ehalfstep2.JPG |

Not my usual commuter as I save the Cascade for touring but today I ran all over the city with the old lady... figure that I have ridden this bike at least 40,000 km since I bought it for a whopping $25.00.

I just mounted a set of full SKS fenders and Lenzyne Power rack on my Kona Paddy Wagon last night. My bike went from being a fast single speed commuter to an all weather tank. I swear the old girl gained 6 pounds. The jury is still out on if I'll keep it but it was nice to ditch the backpack and use my ortlieb panniers this morning. I'll post pics later tonight.

I have owned a lot bikes that are better, but nothing will exceed this old beater that accompanied me for my entire childhood.
most produced and used commuter bike in the world, the Chinese flying pigeon single speed, circa 1980. last time i was in Africa I saw some of these on the street. made me laugh out loud |
Nice sentiment.

They've expanded to carry other classic-looking bikes (like Pashleys and authentic Dutch city bikes) and cargo bikes. |

I think my other bikes will be getting to rest for a while... it still needs fenders as this bike is drawn to water like nothing else.

My 2011 Surly Long Haul Trucker is finally complete. Brooks B-67, SKS Longboard fenders, MKS pedals from Velo Orange, Shimano dynamo, Supernova E3 lighting. I'm using Ortlieb panniers. Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires FTW! It's a fantastic ride.
