-
That looks superb mate, cant wait to see that built up :daumenhoch:
-
Wow :shocked: that looks well well cool :coolsmiley: :4_17_5:
Are there other signature parts that go with it?
Matching jump suit next? 8)
-
I absolutely love the EK edition, cant wait to see this finished :4_17_5:
-
how many of these did they do as remember when they came out as saw one in action bikes for months
-
Man that is a beauty, well done for scoring that :daumenhoch:
-
think you need the wembley one now as well to sit beside it
-
they done 200 i got number 27
-
thought it was 1000
-
200 of both editions pretty sure will check
-
awesome..
-
yeah remember when pat got his was well tidy lol
wanna see a pict of it now
come on pat get one posted up lol
-
it was made to ride so i rode it its pretty smashed up but im sure evel would want it that way . still only a few bad dents ,its not bent though in anyway you need a tank to roll over it to bend it, strong as hell i love the drop outs no need a bash guard.
-
think other parts were seat, which i want if anyone out there got one, white jump bars and a white chainring.
got it all apart from seat i got a full set of stickers as well so i may get dan to do some magic on it
-
now that is nice! :daumenhoch:
-
Since you stopped riding that Pat you`ve had a new frame every month >:D
-
Pat you monkey - if anyone has the seat, chainring and bars...they are mine!!!
;)

Was the Wembley edition baby blue?
-
ive seen pats one :LolLolLolLol:
it wouldnt look out of place on the streets of baghdad
in fact it looks like a couple of sucide bombers have used it to goto work on :LolLolLolLol:
but saying that mr kenievel would be proud of ya for sure :daumenhoch: its been ridden :daumenhoch:
-
well the bars are easy to do cos they only hoffman jump bars just need the stickers for it , i got a set if you need to get em copied as i been in touch with hoffman and there is no chance to get them anymore , as for the seat i will wait in line as i will only break it anyway. the sprocket im sure you could get done as well.
and yes i have occasionly taken it rom but its breakless and scares the shit outa me

Cheers Pat - I'd love to get hold of those decals to do a scan of, then I can get some repros done. Naturally, I'll hook you up with a couple of sets so you never have to use the originals mate. :daumenhoch:
Yeah, the sprocket looks fairly easy to repro as well...have you got one of those I can scan too? And the seat...fingers crossed for both of us...I've seen the aftermarket fat one around, but the original from the complete bike, that's another story. Let's both keep our eyes peeled and I'm sure we'll both get sorted eventually!
Cheers mate

It certainly was...and it had a more conventional frame shape. Nice though.

Yep, and only 4 weeks ago I turned up buying an EK seat and chainring because I thought I'd never find a NOS frame! Double DOH!
Hindsight is a beautiful thing... :'(
-
wow. that is lovely. First time Ive seen one.
Remeber and get your self a while leather suit with stars ands stripes like the real EK when you take this beauty out for the first time at ROM.
that'll be funny :LolLolLolLol:

don't they do an evel pisspot aswell?,or is that taking it a bit too far??.

Yeah, I've seen a couple over the last few months...both were lightly used though.
Mine is one of the framesets they sold alongside the completes. So, I don't know how I'm going to build it yet...i.e. replicate a complete, or build it with better parts...hmmmmm
:)
-
better parts makes for a better bike :daumenhoch:
way cool frameset :coolsmiley: you gotta love a Hoffman :angel:
-
theres a local kid round my way cant ride for shit havent seen him in over a year but he has an ek1 totaly original and the number is wait for it 007 how cool gotta try track him down its probably rotting in the garden.
also i turned down a ek wembley 2 years ago for 150 quid DOH
-
Really like that....but my eyes are still drawn to thw white Hoffman and those glowing blue wheels.....lovely bike that. :coolsmiley:

Well who knows where the glowing blue wheels will end up, eh Sam?
::)
-
best way to build a EK1 imo is get the frame forks bars and seat then build it up with top of the range hoffman stuff all in black thats my plan if i ever get a seat that is

Ooo...sounds interesting...
Don't want you breaking that Hoffman up though...it just looks so right! The blue matches perfectly.

Sound nice Pat...would you go for the black Primo cranks like on the 01 EK? That looks sweet.
I've pretty much decided I'm not going to try to re-create a 'complete', as this F&F was sold as a frameset only...so I want to go for something a bit different...not sure what yet, but I've got a few ideas.
Lazychubs told me about that 007 EK - track the little git down and have it!!!
Nice one mate.

Love the bike. I wanted one of these but the last NOS one from the US wouldn't ship to the UK :idiot2:
But I did manage to get a Mint NOS seat from Canada after 3 months of searching and £70 later.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/o293/floating-images/51_1.jpg) :4_17_5:
And no it's not for sale.

Yeah saw that seat on the bay in a closed listing search after I got the frame...shame I missed that one as it looks an absolute minter! Nice win.
Just a shame the NOS F&F you saw on the bay wouldn't ship to the UK, eh...
;)
Oh, hum the search continues for both of us!
-
Good luck with search fellas I do have this NOS old school seat.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/o293/floating-images/3b_1.jpg)
Not the right one I know but ideal to tide you over until you do find the Hoffman style. I'm open to offers - so let the fight begin. ;D
-
Isn't that the one off the Huffy EK?
-
no fight will begin no bidding war stodge is first in line he spoke first........... money dont matter to me nor the fact as soon i mine is built good again i will only trash it.......................
-
still think you should have launched my big daddy into the pool but you jumped of it .it would have been the first time it would have been riden properly. :)
-

huffy ek????
lmao
-
whats imao ? excuse my ignorance bro and me spelling
-
It`s lmao, laugh my ass off :daumenhoch:

I think it must be, but the only huffy ek pic i've seen doesn't show the seat properly.

My friendly local bike shop (thanks Rich!) gave me a 2001 HB Catalogue today, which is the last year they sold the Evel Knievel...had some quite nice info in, so I thought I'd share with the group... ;)

Saw a documentary about EK and in one part thay are following him around the playground with his grandkids who have all got Hoffman EK's :( I nearly cried, bet that dont appreciate them for what thay are, probably get treated the same as a Walmart special.

Brilliant ad - keep the info coming fellas...
:4_17_5:

Just been going through some old Ride magazines and found the press release for the forthcoming EK special edition in the news section of the Aug/Sept 98 issue. It's interesting because the bike shown is a modified Condor (a bigger gusset welded in) with painted love handles, a plain black seat and chainring...clearly they had a re-think before final production.
