Darren KAP:
  Won this 1985 Curtis Freestyler frame/forks on Ebay on Wednesday . The listing said he did not have a strong vice to clamp seat post in so it might be stuck in  ::) , well it was and with it being an alloy jobbie needed some care ,,,,, so armed with the frame set and crossed fingers called round to a mates  :daumenhoch: , so i started gentley heating it up as the last thing i wanted was the alloy seat post to expand quicker than the steel seat tube and ending up with a very distorted seat tube . So after a couple of times of heating it up and let it cool started to try turn the frame , i must say at this point i was praying the seat post didn't snap ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, then bingo it started to turn and Bobs your uncle out it came  :4_17_5:

As you can see in the pic it looks a little sorry for it's self but has no dents , cracks , or rewelds so happy days all round .
Not sure what colour to do it not fussed about chrome as i don't want to wait 9 years till i get it back whoops i ment 9 weeks approx  ::) :LolLolLolLol:  fancy something a bit different ,,,,,,,,,,, Not dayglo orange again  :LolLolLolLol: what are your thoughts guys .

Nice bikes but that was way to much money? or have prices shot up that much? this same one was forsale on the burner site for £175 posted but had no takers 7/8 months ago  :shocked:
