Very Rare Rekord 70s Old School Skool BMX Bike Cycle Akisu Kuwahara Apollo Style

  
Not even listed on BMX Museum, no internet history but an established vintage bike brand from Germany or Austria which would have been manufactured in Japan by a frame maker such as Akisu or Kuwahara. Kuwahara used to build for other companies, I'm sure the cromo burner was based on Ku Nova, and Aero Pro Burner on Ku Laserlite. So it's a very rare Akisu / Kuwahara Apollo style frame and forks and late 70s a very early BMX model, given the prices of the alternatives this would be a great tribute bike. The 80s BMXs had neater TiG Welds as the market competition increased for the top end, whereas the earlier models were mig welded so the beads were more visible. It's out of long time storage and needs tyres pumping up or maybe new innertubes, polishing and tightening bits to work but not a lot.

I'm sure a couple of hours tinkering this will have a lovely patina. Has a very nice quality fine seatpost which was seized in at first but a dose of creeper oil and it popped out with no further resistance.

Something totally different and unique! I have a 2nd BMX with the same frame and forks with the original Leisure Wheels BMX Racing labels on, stored away as well.
