Agreed, seems to be an obvious choice for some reason  :daumenhoch:  Maybe seeing one in a different colour will help.

Thought I'd just see what bits I can get for cheap that are half decent, guess without original forks it's the way to go  :daumenhoch:

Post by: firebird4130 on October 26, 2011, 05:23 PM
It's an idea,but looks like the frame has been heated/chrome scorched , anyone know if white was an option, were the decals always blue?
Title: Re: Non looptail Pro-lite freestyler info/pics please
Post by: stidds on October 26, 2011, 06:05 PM
Don't know about frame colours Fraz, but the decals came in blue, green and orange.  I have an orange set in my spares box.

I only remember seeing chrome ones  :-\


You could always get these on Rudewheels .com  about 4 or 5 years ago for  £50 frame and £75 frame and forks NOS

in the days when a NOS Aero Reflex were £29 frame and forks too

Rudewheels were ok ,,till it all went pea rshaped :crazy2:

Post by: stidds on October 26, 2011, 10:32 PM
The ones on Rudewheels weren't the Craig Campbell Prolite from the 80's Christian they were 90's versions with CC signature stickers on.

I'm not sure about the forks, you dont see many of the non looptail CC signatures about

Yeh, what Stidds said about the Rudewheels ones, they were fat downtubed 90's POS they were selling.

I was talking to someone at Southsea a few years back now (I think it was the bloke that made them but my mind is a blank right now) and he said they made far less non looptail freestylers so they are even rarer than the very rare looptail!

Post by: gary4130 on January 09, 2012, 12:01 AM
who made the frames for prolite as the CC ones were made out of 531 +the none looptail ones were out of normal cro mo i beileve ?
Title: Re: Non looptail Pro-lite freestyler info/pics please
Post by: monkeybat on January 09, 2012, 06:26 AM
The original CC Pro lite forks were bent backwards at the crown because of the headtube angle. I lived very close to Craig and my Freind got his old USA king of the Skatepark f & f BITD. I bent my sig frame from too many wall ride impacts. I ended up useing landing gear forks.
Could you rechrome it ?
I have blue original decals and orange on chrome background.
