£10,000, seriously ? Or is it some good investigation from the Sun ?

Word was that he is registered on this site ! So rumour has it

if its one of the actual bikes used in the film then its a shrewd investment

I was thinking the same thing , but in Leicester ?

I wonder how they can verify that it was actually used in the film?

Cool if he has got one of the original/movie bikes though. Especially the one that Elliot/Bob Haro rode.

I wonder if Mr Kasabian wants to invest in a small UK bike company

Either him, Alan Smith (ex-Man U, dunno who he plays for now!), or the blokes in Kaiser Chiefs/Arctic Monkeys who are also ex-BMX'ers.

I saw that and wondered if he had been done , as it must be hard to prove its the actual bike , if it is then it must look like brens one he did as a elliot bike, and not the ET replica

be good to get him on here so we can have a look as that bike would be nice to see

Word on the street is that it's actually a one of those Tange frames (with the Heart gusset) that's been modified to look like a kuwi

THE RACE FACE · « **Reply #18 on:** September 27, 2007, 08:58 PM »

he does not have time to come on here all his shit is sorted out buy his agent he bought somthing from me.... on ebay.

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #19 on:** September 27, 2007, 09:02 PM »

well tell him i dont have time to listen to his songs then

lol

good luck to him , i would love to know the story behind the bike and how it ended up in the UK

plus there must be a few film bikes that would be classed as elliots, as Haro rode as him i think , and that bikes different , so which one the stunt one or the filmed one

great think to own really an old school bmx , and a movie prop cool

Now expect the OSBMX scene to explode and price itself out of most of our reach!

Look at what happened to the VW Camper scene after Jamie Oliver got his hands on one!

I can just see loads of Upper middle class 30-40 year old City types with bonuses to watse on someting 'Crazy' qeueing up to buy anything that resembles an old schooler!

I think that the Kasabian guy must be pretty mental to drop that kind of money on a BMX (Think about it, if you won a couple million on the lottery would you spend that kind of money on a BMX? I know I wouldn't)

But I think its a bigger shame that it ended up in the Sun newspaper (or should that be Comic!)
