i reckon there are some wonky tape measures. or maybe it was one of those moody hot hearts.
reet, if you have either bike, get you tape measure out and lets find out if there are any wierd different size bikes about.

That's a good idea  :). 
So you have both frame sets then J.t ?
Obviously i'm only going by what i've seen on this and other sites which have bought the differences up.

If i was unsure about the frame set i'd have done a few checks...

1. B.b to top of seat-post tube (if a size difference is a marker).
2. Weight (e.t steel etc).
3. Welds.
4. Gusset hole size.
5. Serial number (position etc).

i've had 5 hothearts, got one left, 2 sold on here, 2 given away in holland. got only one genuine ET. serial is the same, rear triangle on the ET is high ten not cro-mo, all my hothearts were full cro-mo. hole dia. is 22mm, ones a heart or if it's bigger than 22mm then is moody, if it's cro mo then it's not an ET and maybe a kuwi kz whatnot. (kyz, can't remember or be assed to look for it) but as for different sizes? WTF they were never different from each other. Everybody measur your shit and lets find out for sure.

hi all

Just measured my Hot heart and its 10'' exactly and the heart on the gusset measure's 20mm from the furthest points, cant remember what should be what, just letting you know. i will look on the thread and see what is what.

Cheers steve :daumenhoch:

steve Beech TA:

Just cut out a 21 mm circle and it just covers the heart so if a HH was made into a ET if done well would measure 21-22mm, hope this helps :daumenhoch:
