Like most British stuff BITD it just had less kudos than the US stuff didn't mean it was inferior quality.

I reckon a lot that British, Japanese and even some Taiwanese stuff was far better built than the US stuff.

As kids we just didn't understand that and where swayed by the marketing.

i just remember when i was a kid if you had Acorn Mags you were laughed at .......it was kinda like turning up to school in Dunlop Trainers instead of Nike lol ....

If i remember rightly Acorn mags were the fitment of choice to most catalouge bikes ....so im only guessing that the Acorn Freestyler didnt go down to well !!
