Post by: jimmyp on January 02, 2008, 12:52 AM: I looked into doing a bike just like the Karate Kid bike a few months ago. The spec changes in various shots like when the bike is on the top of the car in the first shot when they arrive in L.A. it has chrome hubs but when he goes to college it has blue hubs. They made two different size two fours, the Karate kid bike is the smaller size. Ill check my Mongoose 84 usa cataloge for spec and sizes. You should be able to get most of the spec from the film as there are some good shots if you can pause it quick enough ;)
