Kuwahara ET / Tange Hot Heart Serial Number Database

[monkian]

I thought this could be useful in helping ID and highlight potential differences between Kuwahara ET's & Tange Hot Hearts.
I'm looking for specific evidence so photos of serial stamps on survivor / OG bikes only (original paint / before restoration), along with a shot of the bike.
If anyone has or finds any can they please post them in the thread or email / PM me.

Cheers, Paul

Any more survivor ET's out there?

[factory pilot]

Great thread Paul.. I love an ET

[Mikku]

Me too!   Although in reality the frames/bikes were fairly low-spec, I love the look of an ET, and of course the film takes me right back to when I first got into BMX. One day I'll have one, I'm sure.

Anyway, I digress. There was a nice, og-looking ET frameset for sale over on the Museum last week. The serial was T2H3791. My Photobucket a/c is all but full, so I can't post the pics but here's the link:-

Thanks Mick

[Mikku]

Yep, that's the one! I'd have snapped it up if he'd offered international shipping!

[monkian]

Yeah it was a great deal for someone. Worked out at around £180!!
