Flaz, suppose that would be a variation on a side-hack.  :LolLolLolLol:

do they go wromp wropm wromp when you ride?

They is proper old school Cheng Shin knobbies, I had them on my first bike, then a set of Tioga MX's before getting some Mongoose Snakebelly's.  They make a great sound when ridden on concrete, just as you describe  :daumenhoch:

Great job love it :daumenhoch:

Townshend's right the E.T. bike in the film is a regular KZ-1 and not a looptail but who cares great job anyway.

I have the Stem that's angled forward like the one in the picture that actually came off an old E.T.

From bodamus ;)

Again, thanks for the comments.

I know the one in the film is the KZ1 but didn't know until I had bought the frame and got it painted. After watching the film for research purposes noticed that it was a non-looptail.

Bodamus wanna sell the stem?
