this just in and too small for me, an 80s kuwahara created for the bike show circuit then retired for the past 17 years. note the robust fork crown.

and you are correct sir - suntour trackends
there's also a rather large "mavic" decal on the st running vertical
another interesting decal is a japanese flag on the headtube the reads "factory kuwahara"

Do you actually plan on riding that bike? cuz white tires won't be white after about a block down the street. But they'll probably match bette cuz then they'll be a nice dark grey with spots of black.
