Title: Rickman Freestyler (another one saved)
Post by: Funkyworm on November 30, 2012, 06:38 PM
Got this on ebay a few weeks ago, Still looking for a set of Rickman bars , the previous owner swears he has some & he's delving in to his dads garage this weekend for me !
I'm not goig to be clever with the colour way, just keeping here pure white & honest.

Powder coated today (got to be honest though I'm not happy with the finish, around the crank housing is pretty shit & pitted , think i'm gonna send it back to be re done.

To be honest it looked better in the pictures than in reality, it needed stripping down believe it or not the new powder isnt as I'd like ( might get it chromed now, just like the one i originally had)... Still making up my mind.
