1994 TOYO E-Flat Kunitomo Onishi Pro Model
« on: March 04, 2013, 09:27:44 PM »
Well I got my 1994 TOYO E-Flat Kuinitomo Onishi Pro Model finally built and thought I`d share it. This bike turned out beautiful I think and if your a Graveyard lover like I am your going to love the parts list. Here is the story of this frame and fork set and the parts as I know it. This frame & fork was purchased from Dig It in Japan in 1994. These Toyo frames were never imported to the U.S. as far as I know. The original owner of this Toyo lived in southern California in the 90`s, was friends with the Flatland Fugitives and also in the Navy. While stationed with the Navy in Japan the owner bought this frame & fork set and brought it back to the U.S. with him. Being friends with the Flatland Fugitives he also had a great way to source some of the very first Graveyard parts. This frame and fork have some very unique features such as built in seat clamp, bent legged chainstays made from tapering teardrop shaped tubing for foot clearance, bent down tube for foot clearance, 1/4" thick dropouts front and rear for strength, vertical axle slots on the fork so front end ride height is adjustable, notched fork steerer tube for smoother cable routing & really nice geometry. The Graveyard parts were sourced from riders of the Flatland Fugitives. The rider who this frame & fork were named after Kunitomo Onishi was a competitive Pro level rider in the 90`s and also the founder of Magic Fruits. This bike has every Graveyard part available at the time except one that I`m still looking for. The only part I`m missing now to really top this build off is a Graveyard seat post which I`m searching for. This bike is 100% ready to rock and is a blast to ride. I spend alot of time trying to preserve early and rare mid school flatland bikes to enjoy and share with others so I hope you guys dig this bike as much as I do. This has a ton of pictures so grab a beer and enjoy. Thanks for looking :)

That's really,really nice.
Gotta have some creature comforts and get a padded seat IMO  :P .
I collect Graveyard stuff too, have only got 3 chainwheels and a set of bars,
nothing really rare.
I have some LoveGoat and Static parts however,
from about 2 years later that would be impossible to find.
Thanks for the share,
I did as suggested and had a look and a frothy one :beer:
will watch the vids now,ta
