Post by: energiza on August 04, 2010, 10:05 PM
right this is on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190426964379&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

my pals got a 1986 craig campell and its a lot different to the one listed on the bay..his as a different front gusset.also the rear is a looptail,and the rear coaster brake hanger is set diffently..looks to me that this one on the bay could be just a prolite but im not 100% sure.while i know for a fact my friends is 200% original craig cambell

what do u guys think????

There were some Prolite CC's without the looptail.

The looptails were made from Reynolds 531 tubing and the non-loops were Chromoly tubing.

If I remember correctly the looptails were the actual Pro-Lite Craig Campbell models and the non-looptails were badged as Pro-Lite Freestyler.

I know I know  :) you're right...

Wasn't too bothered on the frame... wheels, tyres, stem, forks & brakes all looked nice though.

"whats gone is gone... and its time to move on"

Don't want to upset the apple cart but I got it.  I think the real CC was the looptail and they did a cheaper frame which is the one I got.  The bike has been sitting a while and has been stripped and is on it's way to being tarted up and built for a good rider.  Don't suppose anybody knows the correct colour code for the baby blue as that is what colour it was originally?

Cheers

Alright Col - good work fella... you're not upsetting any apple carts mate... well done for getting it  :daumenhoch:

If you did want to shift the forks as they are DP and not the original ones then you should give poolysheriff a PM - hes been searchin for a while... :angel:

...and if you want to sell the wheels and or tyres then I'm your man  8)

Not sure on the colour though... soz  :-X post some pics up if you get a chance - be good to see it looking dapper  :smitten:
