my rebel freestyler, number one of three to do! Reynolds 531 tubing, built in Worfield Shropshire only a few miles from where I live. Original chrome and rust for authenticity ;) need to speak to Del and get 2 or 3 sets of decals sorted for bikes, next on the to do lists.(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/85a0c5fd.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/039ef884.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/db6e188f.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/9c2e6185.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/79eeba71.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/25e63492.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/4001e353.jpg)as you can see previous owners painted everything!(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/2fa89a91.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/9ce371f5.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/cebc94ef.jpg)stem and bars only for mock up but the bars will be going on the White one I do.(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/f4424860.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/803c7161.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/36cb85f8.jpg)which wheels to go with!(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/38b9fb94.jpg)still need to polish the hubs on these(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ee71/njd_02/06b75569.jpg)as I said bars and stem won't be going on this build

I put them back on the bay thinking they were just some cheapies with a rebel sticker stuck on them!!!!! 

I had some quite large 10 x 30 rebel bars bitd, because they were cheaper than CWs. They were cheapies with a Rebel sticker on them!! £12.99 if memory serves!

Obviously, I appreciate the rarity of rebel stuff today, cant even remember what happened to mine, they'd still be too big for me even now!
