Title: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: stevesredvxr on January 18, 2014, 06:18 PM: Just landed this 10 minutes ago.

Been stored in a garage since 2000.

It's a local bike and was bought from Ron's Cycles in Heywood. I used to frequent this shop BITD riding to it, buying something with my paper round money before riding onto Roch valley raiders track, having an hour on there and then riding home.......memories. :)

Serial 10 84

What you think guys?

Steve

Post by: southern andy on January 18, 2014, 06:25 PM: I'd be happy finding that.

There is one on my post round with curtis forks too but sprayed bombed black, owner won't sell, it was his as a kid and now his son rides it around, also on there is a Rickman freestyler and another freestyler in the same shed, both with Skyways. These two i could probably get if i was in to freestyle bikes :-\

Nice score :)

Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: retrogeezer on January 18, 2014, 08:20 PM: o.k, well a restored white f&f went for £650 on egay!

I much prefer a survivor myself but would guess around £7-800?
Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: stevesredvxr on January 18, 2014, 08:22 PM: So half that would be a good score? :)

Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: CustardLips on January 18, 2014, 10:14 PM: Nice, did you find it in Heywood too. ???
Didn't know Ron the Con sold anything as up market as this bitd. Shepherds used to sell the good stuff and Ron used to sell the crap stuff from what I remember. Mind you he's still there so he must be doing something right.
Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: stevesredvxr on January 18, 2014, 10:18 PM: No this was in Didsbury.
I bought my ELINA flyte tech from Ron's and my copy skyway platform plus loads of grips, donuts, chainrings, powerdiscs etc.
It was way cheaper than Shepherds as I remember but yeah, not as up market.

Post by: stevesredvxr on January 19, 2014, 10:17 AM: So do I keep it as is or do I swap the parts out for blue ones to match the wheels?
Or do I stick black parts on it?

:-\
Steve
Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: CustardLips on January 19, 2014, 10:42 AM: Some nice black bits. :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: oldschoolace on January 19, 2014, 10:48 AM: Deffo keep it as is! one of the things that make a survivor look like a survivor is the hotchpotch of parts. Just like we all did back in the day, swapping bits with mates. Once the bike looks too considered it loses that feel and looks too grown up for want of a better phrase. :)
Title: Re: Curtis Freestyler Survivor.
Post by: stevesredvxr on January 19, 2014, 11:28 AM: I hear what your saying Clint.......BUT you know me, if it's not freshly powdered and minty mint then I lose interest.

I do need a rider that's for sure. ^"^
