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:

Rhys, the closest I could get to the invisible cable, was the original Kuwahara one!

im not trying to be funny about the tyres or picky either i just think it would look so much better with comp 3s ,cheng shins or wilkos ,i dont like the black tyres, everything else puka

jimwise68 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2007, 09:26 PM »

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

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.
