actually looking at the suntour clamp for $200 and the $2500 laserlite frame bars and post that Kuwi looks like quite a deal...  someone must be bying from him to make him think he can charge those prices.... amazing...

Is there any evidence out there to back up the story?

With the price of Gold at the moment I would be scraping that off and weighing it in  

[kuwahero]

As much as I like Kuwahara's. To me this looks nasty.

Reminds me of one of them dare, Super Burners. No offense Dave and I took great pleasure in peeling the gold of that to make it chrome for my mate.

DTLflyKUWA is a member on here, I believe.

Why wouldthey make a sickly golden Kuwahara to promote the film when its  completely different to the 'ET Kuwahara'? Smells a bit fishy (sushi?) to me.

The Tioga spider on the 1pc has to be later and not original, it has those longer slots for the bolts.

Either way its a fook ugly bike!      ............................is it one of Liverpool Stu's creations?

Is it me or is the gusset hole a bit on the large side?

Too right, it's quite large - something not quite right about that

Doesn't have the correct forks for an ET either, legs are longer than the dropouts. The ET forks are like tange TRX forks but with round legs.
