Title: Rebel times 5
Post by: dannywhiteley on January 25, 2010, 10:19 PM

I might be the first person to ever claim this and the only one to care, but am I the only person to ever own all the 5 comercially available Rebel framesets?  Here we go... 8)

The only other frame ive ever seen is the one in this chaps left hand.  Its got the double seat tube arrangement, but is more or a race frame geometry (i.e. no foot platform round the seat tube).  Think its a prototype though as ive never seen or heard of a frame like this before...

It was yours Daz, I got it off Phil (Sawzall) in a trade for the cruiser frame. He kept hold of the bars though, so I put these CW style on instead.

Its a shame I dont still have all the frames together, but atleast I can say I have owned them all, even though I didnt actually do anything with the double seat tube freestyler as I only actually had it for about a week.
