Hi All and a Merry Christmas :)
Does anybody have a 85 Prolite catalogue scan, or an advert i could get a look at. I need info on the Prolite Craig Campbell factory bike and the standard Prolite too if possible. Not sure if the Campbell came as a bike or FF only? need to know colours etc....
Im in and out of the house today so ill check back as i can
Cheers a lot in advance

I think it came as F&F only, I had one and they were chrome or baby blue and 531 tubing with looped dropouts, the non CC version had straight dropouts.
There are a couple of bad shots here

From memory CC's was:
CC Signature Frame& Forks
Green or Blue Tuff II's
Skyway EZ bars
Redline Flights
Shimano DX's
DC brakes (Tech 3's and MX1000's??)
Ah wait I've found a thread on here with the perfect replica

Withy, thanks for that. I have one of each frameset and im trying to build them factory as a CC replica sounds expensive :(
-
Won't be cheap to build Dom, sell them and buy a Haro ::)
I've got mags with both bikes in i think, if you need scans...........

Yeah Jay i know. To be honest my hearts not really in it but have had both for a while and wanted to see somthing as a result. The CC was going to be my rider ::) but its just in too good a condition to have me all over it so i thoght id try and build it as a factory example if there is such a thing, maybe not. The standard prolite is one of the most appallingly made bmx frames i have seen in person. Its quite interesting comparing the standard to the CC, lots of obvious differences.
shame the CC didnt come in white, would have made life easier :LolLolLolLol:
If you have scans id be grateful mate, when you get a moment that is, no major rush :daumenhoch:

were only ever frame and forks. I thought they came in white too.....but memory is a bit vague.
I sold loads for a local bike shop - on a sell 5 get one free basis iirc. Each box came with two set of decals too.........so I had loads and loads of sets for myself.......and nope, I dont still have em.
was my favourite handling boke of all time, tight head angle for its time suited me fine and the platform was great. ran mine with a set of hutch forks..

I'm pretty sure Rosscoe is right and they came in white also - I'll see if I have a scan

Cheers Jay. If theres a white one im happy as i can get that done easily of course. Dont want to distract from the main project ;)

Dom, I had a look at my scans today, but couldn't find a scan of a white one.
I used to own decals in 4 different colours - blue on chrome, orange on chrome, green on chrome and blue on white so I'm sure they came in white (just got no proof) :LolLolLolLol:

just chuck it in the canal and walk away
and you'd be jumping in right after it - even in your favourite Haro jersey
