Title: Ammaco freestyler pro opinions
Post by: Howser on July 22, 2014, 09:09 PM
Hi guys,
              I'm just finishing off my latest build and started thinking about the next one. I've done early 80s race bikes and quite fancy having a freestyler twin top in the stable.

Don't think I'll have the budget for a haro master but like the look of the ammaco freestyler pro. Wondering if anyone could advise what they are like to ride?  I've heard some of the freestylers can be a bit uncomfortable with the positioning of the bb?  Not sure if that's true  :-\

Any help is much appreciate - Thanks guys   :daumenhoch:

Matt Swivel did one of the nicest I've seen, I'll see if I can dig a pic out.

They look nice to me, from what I remember the early ones with the ammaco holes in the front gusset used to always crack. But it was only around the holes not the frame  :daumenhoch:

lovely bikes :daumenhoch: but the forks are a bit buttery and prone to twisting if you don't land your 360s smooth

My first BMX, loved it.  First thing I went after when I started collecting and riding again.  Did a reverse colourway of mine the last time I revamped it, pretty much exact spec from the bike shop in Manchester back in 85

Thanks for all your comments guys and they've helped me decide it will be my next build  :daumenhoch:  I'll look out for any issues around the early gusset cracking - it won't be seeing any ramp action and will be used strictly for flatland riding - well mainly pub cruising  ;D 

Wini - that's a lovely build  :coolsmiley:   Something different from the norm. 

Cheers guys  :daumenhoch:
