I've been looking through Rad's Museum.. some Excellent bikes on there...

i noticed this Rebel Freestyler on there posted by  Daz bmx it...


Nice bike.......

I used to ride a Rebel when i started riding bfa comps...

mine was apparently a race/ freestyle hybrid, still had the single into twin top tube...

platform wasnt as big as this one, just went down to the drop outs...

Also, it had an extra tube behind the seat post running from the b.b. to the t.t.!!

Ive never ever seen one like mine scince then and this Rebel is the closest thing i seen..

in fact, this is the ONLY REBEL i've seen scince then!!

has anyone got any pics or ad's, or know of any web sites ??

I'd love to see one again!!

this is the only decent pic i've got of my one.....

Can't help with your request, but I rode a Rebel bitd so I'd be keen to see more of them. Mine was one of the first Rebel Freestyle models, conventional chrome frame with twin top tubes, a coaster bracket and no extra tubes/platforms etc. Loved it to bits. It had yellow coaster Skyways and Skyway EZ bars, but sadly I sold it to finance a skateboard in 1985!
Anyone got a Rebel Freestyler f&F for sale btw?!

Dave, a member on here (and general nice bloke)  ;) sawzal has a lovely Rebel freestyler......it should be in the museum section.

they also did the chrome freestyle frame which looked very Gen1 ish, i believe it was the same as the Faze 7 freestyle frame but that was sold powdered rather than chrome (which should also be in the museum section i think)  :daumenhoch:

Cool bikes!! I've seen the Rebel but thats first Faze 7 i've seen!!

I found that the company owner was Bernie Anderson who also owns the  A.B.A.

but i'm a bit stuck finding the bikes though...

I reckon there's gonna be someone on Rad who'll know something... 

this is how far i got like... :-\

I swapped mine for a Haro sport f&f in 89/ 90...

are they rare because i've only ever seen 2 myself... and 1 was mine!!

Ive loved Rebels ever since I was a kid, when a lad I new at school (the cool kid with all the best clothes, trainers, bikes etc) had one.  His was a standard single top tube race style bike, but I got matey with him in the summer of 86 and he let me ride it.

sawzalls race frame



Looking into it, ive noticed that apart from the single top tube bike my mate had, there are atleast 3 different freestyle bikes.

The one like daz bmx's with the extra long foot stand





This one is/was sawzall's



There was the twin top tube (gen 1 alike) - pic courtesy of clonerz.  This frame was also painted white and branded as a FAZE 7 (as above)



and the one you had with the extra tube behind the seat post.  This is Rom Bloke's



This was posted in the museum by FIL EBZ.





and winnets



As far as I am aware most Rebels came in chrome, but whites are about also.
