The film is supposed to be 1979. I can't really make out the bikes there .. thought there may have been a ripper at first but now i don't think so. Some red alloy Tuff II's i think .. wouldn't 79 be too early for them?

Was it steel then?
I saw this the other week Terry and couldn't make the bikes out tbh.
-
I thought Tuff II's came out 80/81 but looks like i was wrong .. was 79
-
Steel hubbed Tuffs could possibly date back to 79..
It's a well shot film - the plot itself leaves a lot to be desired though. The ending was pretty shit.
-
Yep, steel hubbed Tuffs date back to 79:

my old blue steel hubbed tuffs were dated 79 on the inside of the rim :daumenhoch:
but my god you lot are anal ;D ;)
-
I'd imagine the makers would have to consult o/s collectors to get things like this correct though
-
I'd say the black bike is a 'Two Wheels Stroker'. Has that look about it IMO.
More cool 70's stuff here :4_17_5: ;D

i reckon they fluffed it :LolLolLolLol: they look like second gen steelies on that bike ( shame shaped hubs as alloy hubs ) gen 1 hubs where around 79 -81 which are more square where the rivets are , gen 2 are 81 to when they done alloy hubs
gen 1 steelies - 79 -81 ( which should be on that bike)

One of them is Schwinn Scrambler I remember reading a thread over on the museum about it, the guy also helped source a couple more and there's something about a kuwi et in the film, toatally non era correct but speilburgs nod to ET or some shit like that
-
Yeah there is a kuwie-esq frame with a paint fade in the big blob of metal at the end of the film. I saw it at the cinema and thought it was ok, my kids loved it though.

Lest face it they did a better job than the retro Pk in Tron :LolLolLolLol:

I have a set of red tuffs that have a 79 date written on the inside of the rims which i thought was to early but looks like it could be right :daumenhoch:
