Title: first generation Vincent Frames Freestyler found!
Post by: vincentframes on January 18, 2012, 10:05 PM: This week I had a wicked email from a guy called Richard who'd been in his mums garage and unearthed a first generation freestyler - it's only the second one I've come across (trefore being the other one) and this one has the original forks and rock bars too- awesome find! He bought it in 84/85 after seeing one in a shop in Lancaster when he went with his mate to pick up a Curtis, so he wrote to my dad asking how much they were and dad actually wrote back to him! So he saved his paper round money and his mum & dad paid the rest for Xmas and he waited for it in the post...love it! He still might have the letter and bill for it, really hoping he does...

Still no second gen freestylers found...fingers crossed that one day it might be unearthed too!
