A bike used in Tim Burton's 1985 film "Pee-wee's Big Adventure" will be auctioned on May 3rd and 4th. One of the fifteen iconic red bikes, it was used during memorable scenes involving Pee-wee Herman, played by Paul Reubens. Although restored, the bike retains some original wear. The auction hosted by Van Eaton Galleries highlights its Hollywood pedigree, featuring new components that match its film appearance while preserving its character. This sale offers fans the chance to own a piece of cinematic history.
"The bike is fitted with new grips, vintage Carlisle tires, a Mickey Mouse bell, black box with red and green button, and an exact working replica of the tiger siren…"
"Built by Hollywood stuntman Gary Littlejohn, the bike has been restored to match its on-screen appearance. However, no paintwork or re-chroming has been done, so some of the wear and tear from the film remains."
