Not an ET expert at all but a Tange/Tioga Beartrap would probably be OK.  I'm sure that someone once posted up a magazine review of the bike and that details what all the components were, might be worth a search  :daumenhoch:

According to the list of the original spec it was a Hatta.

Although it says Hatta on the original spec it's not like a Hatta your likely to see come up for sale. I would perhaps use something like a Tange or Tioga Beartrap instead.

The hatta's mx10 steel and mx 100 alloy will fit, but the likely original spec is the very rare MXII. Here's a pic, this is what Bodamus is on about - these are rare as hens teeth!!

I got the hatta mx 2 in for my et, but it's lavender.  might get it rechromed at some point and use it, but for now I'm planning on using a Tange mx2, it looks pretty much the same as the hatta one.  The other hatta ones are quite different though.
