I got this off Ben just after xmas... he offered it to Rich Devilcock in a wanted thread who knocked it back so i stepped in. :)
1990 Freeagent Limo possibly GT made frameset. It's not original paint so I'll probably have a play with it eventually. I do like it as it is though and what with other stuff going on that's the way it will stay for now. :)

I've got plenty of old and mid school bits lying round doing nothing and other bits waiting for other builds to progress so thought why not sling em on this for now. :daumenhoch:

Tried the GT bars on it but looked way too big so fitted the Slams instead. :)

Looking good Nick :daumenhoch:
What's the difference between a Limo and Pro, rear end and TT length?
-
Not sure about a pro but a Limo is 21". :daumenhoch:
-
Looking good Nick 8)

What's the difference between a Limo and Pro, rear end and TT length?
Pro tt length is 19.75", limo is 21"
Rear end is 14.25-15.25 on my pro, I think it's 14.5-15.5 on the limo, it ain't much longer at the back than a pro, just the longer tt and the same bb height and same steep head angle.

Yeah the TNT woulda been similar if I'd have got round to building it Ed... but with a bit of pink thrown in. :slayer:
Already thinking about what colour I'm gonna do this... maybe orange with black bits. :shocked:
-
Yep, liking that a lot :daumenhoch:
-
:4_17_5: tops that custard dude :daumenhoch:

freeagent is the one bike I never owned but had a go of a few and all felt really really nice to ride, lovely looking bikes
-
Thanks for the comments fellas. :daumenhoch:
Been thinking about a new paint job for this... was thinking orange and black bits at first then lavender with a bit of purple. Fancy something a bit different... any suggestions. ???
-
Not Lavender!! I reckon it looks ace as it is :daumenhoch:
-
How have I missed this????????????
Crackin ride that Nick!
-
That looks fresh as it is... :daumenhoch:

Orange would work, or yellow ???

Baby blue would be nice if it weren't for this...

Or dark green anno bits. ???
-
i like that :daumenhoch:
tough color to match for parts though , aside the the norm of (polished alloy), chrome n black , been done to death though , could go all orange like the Sunday Ross from the other year , color paletts show blue or teal opo to orange, DK generals spring to mind , what about matt light grey?
-
Tbh Jim I've got mostly chrome/polished bits and a little black for it. Just juggling bits around it trying to make it look right. :daumenhoch: Which ain't easy with such a bold colour. ???
-
Now finished... until some nice black DK hubs pop up. :daumenhoch:
