Street Beat vs Street styler

Morning chaps and chapesses

I know i want one of these to build but not sure which one. They both look the same f+f to me so does anyone know what the differences are as a f+f or built up and have a preference themselves?

Is one now rarer than the other?

Alansbmx sells NOS StreetStyler's f+f for £179 (plus p+p) (not sure of year)

http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php'manufacturers_id=72&products_id=1810

And I can get a StreetBeat from Canoshield (bmxmuseuam) for £230 (inc p+p) (not sure of year)



Need to find the cash for either but would welcome all comments/thoughts

Cheers

Lamby

i maybe wrong but the original street beat was pretty much a skyway TA front end with a diferent rear (platform) and 100% cromolly

the street beat you have in that picture was the very last model they did (MKII OR III) and i think it has AD mounts underneath the chain stays??

The street styler was a cheaper model if i remember and i'm sure it's not 100% cromolly??  sorry i think that was the street scene??   ???

like i say i could be wrong though

original street beat frames are still available at reasonable prices  :daumenhoch:

What are AD mounts?  :-[

pickle:
modern U brake mounts (lugs that are welded to the frame) rather than a drilled hole for a conventional caliper brake.

lodge:
Lot smaller diameter round downtube is the easiest way to tell apart.
I have seen a few streetbeats stickered up as streetstylers.
The one in your pic is a late 80's probs 88/89 which has knurling on the toptube.
