Funny how RL's bike runs a Potts mod but Buff's has a standard front brake  :chin:
Does the Trickstar not have a coaster mount as that looks like a Diacompe seat clamp on the rear stays?
Looking forward to another top build mate  fistblump

The original model/s didn’t have coaster tab and the forks - no pegs. This was pre-production. You’ll notice it wasn’t even called a Trick Star and was listed as a Hutch Freestyler.

This should be a good thread  8)

Parts spec from the same magazine. Interestingly, some of it is incorrect in my opinion. The seat is clearly a Kashi, the stem is def not Hutch and the chainring is Tuf Neck not Pro Neck. I’d welcome your grumblings on this  ;D
