Title: Kuwahara ET specs
Post by: burnaliser on October 18, 2006, 01:10 PM

Can anyone tell me the full spec for the American version of the Kuwahara ET, as in the one with gold bits.

Already found the UK spec so not looking for that:

Thanks for that, but I think the replica is a UK version too, it has black rims too, but I think the US version has gold bits, like in this photo:

It is the same version, just a different colourway.

Look at the pic suntour hf hubs, elina, tech 2 etc.

Also look on Jamies site the test from a us mag has one of the first to arrive and is again in the red/white and black but itis the replica model.

Ahh ok then,  so at least there's a few options.

I'll have to dig out my copy of ET and see how it's running in the film
