How's this then?

TET 182 - 21" 1992 Blue - Dropouts out of shot.

Which looks like identical to TET181's description.

Found (didn't purchase) TeT550 at a bike shop in Saskatchewan Canada. 1993 Apple green ribbed down tube- cut-out rear drop out- looks like a 17". Kind of a cool build apart from the fork. I bought the Ringlé bits off of it.

That is a beauty. The apple green metallic is a brilliant colour. What's almost as impressive are a pair of amber-wall Scratch and Sniff tyres: uber rare!

I'll put 17" for now but it might be 18" with that head-tube. Thoughts anyone? What's interesting is that it sits beside 17" either side of the sequencing, and there are patterns for sizes and sequencing dotted throughout the TET era. Also notice #551 is the same colour!

TET 550 - 17” 1993 Apple Green - Triangle cut-out Dropout.

Two absolute crackers have surfaced...no SN's yet but fingers crossed the owner comes through. They may already be on the list checking the records, in which case it's just nice to see them again!



A 16" 93 in a superb gold/green finish.



Is this the a second purple/green Hodaka Hot or the one already listed? We'll find out.

We do have a newbie, reportedly #314 (sadly just a single picture of the frame).



TET 314 - 19" 1993 Blue to Champagne fade - Triangle cut-out Dropout.

It does look like a 17". Did they not share the same 110mm headtube?
Love the green!!

we couldn't figure out the seat post, Yes it's Ti- but it didn't look Kona to us- happy to be wrong.
