  Kuwahara MTB (1986) |
This was my first bought bicycle:
- bought new in 1986 for CHF 1500 (apprx. US$ 1100 / € 900)
- in 2002 new hub drive replaced
- black frame
- 2x 26" wheels (26" x 1.95 tires)
- 3x7 gears
- Sigma 800 bicycle computer
A couple of thousands of kilometer ridden, frame is or was still OK, and maintained more or less well until 2002.
After that I left it and got it up in 2008/10 when I discovered it full of dirt and rust all over - I regret to have left behind and not maintaining it.
After 3 hours cleaning up:

Most parts have rust, and dried dirt hard to get rid off.
I made two longer tours with it, until I switched to my
Fateba recumbent in 2004.
