Post by: Gatters on August 02, 2011, 06:16 PM

Ammacp freestyle pro, still deciding on chrome or powder, chrome is real good, few bits to sort but looking like a chrome build I think.

Don't loose the plot wit the budget, these were not expensive bitd!

Chrome and black with a opc is the way forward bud, and keep it sensible money, it's more fun that way ;-)

How about some candy color over the chrome  :coolsmiley:

This wont be an expensive build but I want it will look good! The chrome is real nice, a few areas to coke and foil but not to much to worry about and then just sourcing the parts.

Cheers for feedback  :daumenhoch:

Some progress made, not spending a great deal on this one but I think it will still look good when finished.
So far it has SR style OPC, Tioga spider, sugino ring, SX pedels(need some work yet), SR stem at mo ( have another to go on) EZ bars, ame rounds, NOS tech 4's with hutch calipers(may change) minty alloy hub tuff's  and a NOS beartrap 2 :daumenhoch:  Just a seat and new chain and some of Del's finest with a bit of polish/resto we're good to go  :daumenhoch:

LOving that and the colourway choice too.
Always liked these as there such a nice ride, well balanced and RAD.

Keeping an eye on this build, freestyle baby  :4_17_5:

Almost finished building my pro up too, my bike bitd. Chrome was shot on mine so I've switched it around and have chrome on black.
Just need to sort the brakes out and I'm 95% stock. Lovely frame that

Have to say those Ammaco freestylers are very nice looking frames indeed and always seem to build into nice bikes.  A very under-rated frame I think.

Hi

The Ammaco's starting to look great.

I've included below the spec for the pro taken from a magazine. I used it to try and keep my one as close as possible, I only changed the wheels to alloy hubbed black tuffs instead of the Ukai's it came with.

Thanks for your comments on my Curtis Freestyler the other day, it was really nice to get so many comments.

Good luck finishing it

I did take your advice and i'm on the look out for my next build  :daumenhoch:
 
Cheers

Rich

Thx for comments and spec list, I have changed it around again and gone for the chrome/black look now, but not 100% sure as yet....using a Haro seat which to be honest I'm not keen on either...little way to go but......it does ride well, totally different to my streetbeat but I do like it in the bowl.

Will get some pics up when its done.


Cheers again  :daumenhoch:

Morning all it's been a while and have missed some quality BMX time but finally making some progress on the ammaco, I know the haro bars are wrong but I like to ride with these bars, when it gets hung on a wall some CW bars with go on  :daumenhoch:

Hope you like so far, will get some nicer pics up when the sun comes out.

Looks good dude!

Chrome looks to be in very nice shape, this is the same colourway as mine bitd  :smitten:

If you want the correct stock bars (usually CW type or Renthals depending where you bought from) check this out.  Cheap and the exact bars they came with, have some on mine
