GREMLIN:

Stodgy:
The Hot Heart I have here is 10" seattube too.

kuwahero:
Well that stuffs that theory  :LolLolLolLol:

My ET measures 10inches also

GREMLIN:
Yup  :D

It's not too much of an issue really anyhow, with mine being a Kuwi'. Nice to lay another myth to rest tho.  :knuppel2:

Great thread i finally sort of feel like i have an answer to a question i needed answering (there's no answer  :idiot2: it seems). I got an e.t Kuwi of ebay US a few months ago and ended up feeling a bit of a pest trying to get an answer as to it's authenticity.
I found the thread not so long ago about the guy sold what he beleaved to be one that was'nt. I pm'd kuwahero (cheers mate for getting back) who quoted the story about the geometry difference he had seen on another site. The thing that confused me, not being up on all the correct terminology was bottom of the bb. If your looking at the serial the bottom is where the seat tube joins the  shell but if the frame is stood up the bottom is where the serial is.
So feeling a little confused and thinking it's just probably me been stupid i found the thread from the guy on OS bMX ( who owned both frames) and pm'd him. I felt my question couldn't have been read properly because the answer didn't really answer my question. I made my apologis and pm'd him again, he attempted to answer my question but ended up talking about both frames in the same sentence. I did'nt know which one he was talking about. I pm'd the guy again with this picture of mine fresh back from the painters and i put these measurements on so as no cofusion could take place but he must have just thought i was a thick  :uglystupid2: and never got back. I thought the picture asks all without confusion check it out.


The only thing i feel happy with is the frame number break down  of it been a july 82 model in time for the october release of the film and the christmas market. Also if it is another model it must have been done an awful long time ago the paint was well old,( A couple of cm's above the serial it also has 106 stamped in , I assumed this must be some sort of zip code an owner had put in after purchase because the same number is stamped in underneath the tange stamp on the trx forks). If the guy is also a member on here no disrespect intended it just he didn't get back after i posted the photo.
