back to the paint work, is there certain dimensions on the white to red,

some of the pics looks differant where the fade on the top tube starts

and also the straight line mask on the rear loop, on the top tube some of the

pics the white looks really short in length :)

hunterdubber:
Here's a Kuwahara KZ1 ( not E.T KZ 2.5 )  , just like Elliott rode in the movie

This is what I'd say looks bang on except for the decals are E.T ones and not KZ1  :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

belongs to guy called hidekazu shinohara


Now that's nice  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

The pics Glynny posted up are of his original survivor in the E.T forks thread :daumenhoch:

 so I suppose he knows what were right on his  :)

,, but I reckon like with anything on these old school bmx there was slight difference and error  and not as exact and fussy as we are , when we're restoring 'em

I mean ,, the decals on alot of bikes back then are not inline or perfectly centred ,, quickly hand applied  factory production  :-[

oldskooldayz:
Oh why did you do that

I'm gonna have to watch the movie now tonight to see the bike again  :'(  :LolLolLolLol:

So to be clear about this, theres actually 4 different style ET bikes flying about  :D

The 'Elliot film ET' which is a Kz, non looptail, with chunky tyres, red horseshoe stem, rattrap pedals.

Then 3 bikes sold to the public:
'ET Original' which had a tange made T2 frame with high end components, sugino spider, stem, diacompe brakes kkt pedals, Ukai's with large flange hubs.

'ET Replica' same Tange T2 frame as the original but lower end components, horseshoe stem, rattrap pedals, chrome steel Ukai's

'ET Special' known as the toystore model, Apollo frame, crappy components & was just basically a copy of the real thing.

Does everyone agree with that?!  :D
