Elliot's Replica Kuwahara - completed
« on: January 13, 2007, 08:21 PM »
Thanks to everyone who helped me with this project. Big shout to:
Burnaliser, Firebird, Ratty, Craigmisfitsat101(sp), Snav69, I wish I kept My TA.

I finally opted for the full on Elliot replica. Now with Sugino chainring and double clamp stem. black fluted seatpost has gone and has been replaced with a chrome one.

Postie is still to bring me the proper rat trap pedals and a pre-bent lever. Just to finish it off.

Anyhow, without further ado...







Here is the original:

Nah I can see it too. Took some time to realise that it was grey though. Well it looks grey anyway.

69er i agree, but then it wouldn't be a replica!   :LolLolLolLol:

I also have all the bits to make it up like the ET Kuwahara original, which does have gumwall tyres on.

But prefer the Idea of having it the same as Elliots rather than the bike that came out after the film.

Jimwise, that looks very nice, can just see the brake cable  :LolLolLolLol:

BTW, where did you get the tyres from?
