Oh why did you do that

I'm gonna have to watch the movie now tonight to see the bike again  :'(  :LolLolLolLol:


There's an old thread on here with loads of ET/Elliott info and some screen grabs of the Kuwaharas they used in the movie.  I will have a look for it in a mo'   :daumenhoch:

So to be clear about this, theres actually 4 different style ET bikes flying about  :D

The 'Elliot film ET' which is a Kz, non looptail, with chunky tyres, red horseshoe stem, rattrap pedals.

Then 3 bikes sold to the public:
'ET Original' which had a tange made T2 frame with high end components, sugino spider, stem, diacompe brakes kkt pedals, Ukai's with large flange hubs.

'ET Replica' same Tange T2 frame as the original but lower end components, horseshoe stem, rattrap pedals, chrome steel Ukai's

'ET Special' known as the toystore model, Apollo frame, crappy components & was just basically a copy of the real thing.

Does everyone agree with that?!  :D






I'd say that pretty much covers it , don't want it anymore complixated  ;D  :daumenhoch:

The only thing what is vague is the Movie bikes ,,as they used a few ( slightly varying )

Here's that old thread - very interesting it is too.

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=51162.0

It has some great E.T. pics including these two.  8)  The Elliott pic clearly shows the bike is a KZ-2 ( same frame as KZ-1 but lower specced parts) with Win stem shineside Arayas or Ukais (hard to tell).  Are the tyres IRCs or some other blackwall CompII, I'm not sure.  :-\
