I've heard that someone has converted a love heart kuwi into an ET by sanding down the gusset...

How successful was it in regards to the original ?

cheers

Must be very strong sandpaper LOL

The Heart stamped frames were Tanges. I had this discusion with Spacefruit, but couldn't remember whether the hole in the ET was a flat circle in the gusset, or whether it actually had a slightly raised "bezzle" around it. In any case, some careful drilling and filing would be possible. But I guess it would be better to clamp it all in a pillar drill with some sacrificial material tacked in to stop the drill mullering the gusset.

the ET frames had a flat hole in the Gusset just like the KZ1 bikes  ;)

I think the hole would end up bigger but could be done.
