Waza, that bike has merited a rare post from me.
I have to tell you that for me also, that is the nicest E.T I have seen.
Very well done.

p.s, what did you do with the other frame ???

Shaun

That is a mint build. I am lovin seeing these builds that used to be in the LBS.

Knowing how hard it is to get some parts I big thumbs up to you.

Heres a photo shoot suggestion. surround the bike in M&M's scattered arround the ground and have a milk crate near by... But seriously a awesome job.

having now had the chance to witness this bike in person I can assure anyone the paintjob itself is just mindblowing.

(Waza please get some better pictures up for everyone. )

Wow what a beautiful build. Any idea what that cost ya? LOL

Awesome.....

Wow! I never cared for the ET BITD, but I definitely take my hat off to you for a superb build!

Awesome build, should make calendar imo...

way cooler than anything Elliot ever rode...

That is just stunning Waza. Best Kuwie in Oz!

When are you opening the National Old School Museum???

I've also been lucky enough to see this in person at the old school get together we had last month. Here's a photo I took.

That is just as I remember them...except yours is a touch cooler.....congrats on a very very clean build, right down to the colour coded Dax stand!

I love the details, it always makes the difference from a great build to a spectacular one!

and here's another one..


ET fone home!!

This has givin' me the inspiration to start mine. All i need is........


Everything!!!!!
