Title: Has anyone done or seen a 16" E.T. replica?
Post by: dp and chopper dude on January 06, 2014, 01:54 PM

Gents,
I'm thinking of buying / building an E.T. bike for my niece. She's E.T. mad and it's her birthday coming up in May.
kuwahara did one a bit back called a Gerty.

That would be ideal but I've not seen any knocking about. I've got an old 16" I can rebuild but I could do with having a nosey at one that has already been done. I've had a search but apart from the Gerty, nothing is coming up.
It's not going to be spot on but enough to make her happy will be enough. 

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

Woah that's ace! Was that a mark 1 mini burner? Where did you get the paint done?
Thanks for putting the picture up  :daumenhoch:

Thats a great idea.

I was thinking a Mark 1 Mini Burner would be a good place to start  :daumenhoch:

Honest mistake  :LolLolLolLol:
I posted it on Tapatalk with the wrong account

So here we are, built from a MK11 mini burner, Gussets welded in by my mate, and painted by me

handlebars are being chromed as we speak, they were fabricated from a set of win bars, to make them into mini V bars

I will post all the pics when its finished

can someone please delete account 'drinksexbmx,

Cracking little build Lee, your mates done a top job on the gussets, and the paint job look neat too. :daumenhoch:
