Lovely frames (and forks are for some reason, pretty rare) and you won't regret buying it if you do. I have a full mag article test ride somewhere, albeit on the Freestyle Pro, but it gets great comments.

Serial number on the BB can be dated. First three digits will be something like 408, the 4 being 84 and 08 being August. The earlier ones had a stamped gusset but the cracked so the later ones were unstamped. Mine is July 84 and is stamped (from memory) so that one will be late 84 or early 85.

I have a NOS Ammaco padset and have scanned it and sent it to 'the usual pad guy' so you'll be able to get new pads.

I'm a race guy and my Ammaco is my only a Freestyle bike. I love it - fab to ride and very light weight, and most importantly it isn't too valuable (Haro) to chuck about.

Great info Mart, cheers for that.

I've got a contact number for this fella, apparently, he's got 2 other bikes, but can't remember what they are.

Chain ring is most likely an Ammaco stamped one also.

That would be a great survivor that.  :)

dinglem:
Has the correct hinged seatpost clamp and judging by the hubs it has the correct mags also. Looks pretty much spot on buddy.

It's very different to the ones my mates had, their's had B1B copies, Suntour copy stems - not SR, wire wheels and the whitewall tyres as Jaymz has described.
