Ammaco Silverstar - Age and $$$!

<< < (2/3) > >>

greentoad:
Hi all

It's got me - mine are Acorn Freestyle and are the same wheels - http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=12527.0

If you look at the bikes in the adverts in the precious link they have OGK and the other mags have the reflector lugs in different places, but in the picture of these black ones, I think I can just make out the text Ammaco on a spoke.

Did Acorn make wheels for Ammaco then?

ol-greg:
hey guys, thanks for the great info again!

the wheels are defo ammaco as ae branded on the spoke like greentoad said.  definatley going to do her up but wasnt sure whether to go completely original or just do it up how i want it and be a bit creative  :P

i dont think i'd be able to get the stickers for this silverstar.  and with it being not such an expensive or desirable bike i'll just do it how i fancy!!

ive sold some acorns same as that at bones last week fo a tenner...

Stodgy:
Hello mate - yep, I've got one of those (it was a bit more than £30 though Pete!).

It's in fantastic condition (almost NOS!) and ALL original apart from the tyres. All the stickers are good and the brake shoes, pads, seat and grips are all un-worn!



I was only going to let it go if I could find someone who had one as a kid (i.e. someone who would love it for sentimental reason), as they don't go for big money. So, let me know if you fancy it, as I can you let you have it for far less than it'll cost you to restore your one.

They sold in 1983 and were available in chrome with black, red or blue parts. They had a different gusset to the one in your pic though...they were normally like a mongoose style double gusset...

Anyhow, let me know dude - it's  a lovely little bike and I'd like it to go to a good home. Let me know if you'd like some more pics...the one above was from Epic where it appeared in the show n shine.

Cheers
Dave
