Kuwahara E.T replica build, With Pics...
GREMLIN:
Hey lads,
I picked this up off the evil-Bay yesterday :). I think i got it at a fair price. I don't know yet if it was off a Rad member ???
A lad called Jason - ebay i.d Hollowayfield... ?
Scanning through the sites old threads i think i've nailed it down to once belonging to Jimwise68 (as his Elliot replica), and then Tefore ?
Maybe even more Rad members :D
Any help with this lads? ;) Also what is the final word on model etc? Chrome Kz2.5, Kyz etc ?
I'm not going to follow to the word the spec sheet build for an E.t. I probably will source a set of Tange Trx forks and have them painted and then decalled up to fit onto it. But the rest will be close enough 'til as and when i can find the correct parts.
I already have a bottom bracket, sugino 1pc, sugino spider, Dia compe 890 brake set in either black or highly polished, Dia compe levers, Suntour post clamp, plus these bits that are in with the auction...
So any thoughts lads? Advice etc? Grem' :daumenhoch:

I believe it's a Tange Hot Heart F&F with a drilled out gusset, judging by the forks.
Looks pukka though!

It's always a possibility i guess. I'll have to check the dimensions when it arrives... :)
But if it is as i think Jimwise68 and Tefore's old frame and fork set i'd say it's 99.9% positive to be a Kuwahara model. G. :daumenhoch:

Finally traced the serial number down on the frame set. It was Tefore's at one time :daumenhoch:
The serial matches, and the b.b to top of seat-post tube is 10" so it is a Kuwi and not a drilled out Hot Heart. Which would be 12". ;)
I did actually think the gusset hole was too small to be a drilled heart... So all's good :daumenhoch:
Thanx Paul m8. I'll get it built up soon enough and may bring it down once i'm back from my hol's ;) G.
