Awesome bike dude - well done, I'm lovin' it!!


Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Beautiful KZ83.  The only questions I have are, if you weren't going original, why did you decide to go with the 400s and Suntour stem, both of which sucked ass (imo) even in 1983?  Stunning build though.  Nice work.

Things I need: Peregrine pedals 9/16”, early threaded S&M forks (chrome Cook Bros style).

this bike was bought with this stem that's why i kept it, about the cranks i prefer the 400's look on it, i tryed the 401 but i didn't like, when it came it was a sugino ct on it, also i had red skyway tuffs
