NOS Kuwahara ET on American eBay
Jaan:
Thats a nice build Jim. The tyres and 1/2 rat traps are real SOBs to find. I'm being really anal with mine so its Nagaoka seat posts, Win slant stems etc. I'm in no rush to build them, just picking up parts along the way, i reckon i'm a couple of years away from having all 5... I do have rider KZ1 and which is really light - I love them...

Cheers Jaan
i know it wasnt 100% exact but you get the idea.
It was the first "Elliot Rep" that had been done at the time though (well on Rad anyway). :angel:
Jaan:
Was it painted Jim? I'm fussy about that too. Think it should be paint...

I built this back in 2007:
Everyone at the time was building the shop bikes and i thought it would be cool to replicate Elliot's bike from the film.
I know it was a looptail unlike Elliot's but hey.
TBH hated these bikes as a kid but it wasnt until I saw Jazzchimp's at MK06 that I realised how nice they are. Ride very well too. Underestimated bikes the Kuwaharas.
