Can anyone help with info on a ProLite Freestyler F&F... its not a looptail/gusset CC model but its also not the large down tube one either.
I cant find anything about it other than there is a baby blue one on here with CC decals which looks lush.
I bought it at MK a few years ago (I think it belonged to a mate of Brettypeeps) and its sat in my loft ever since.
I'm now ready to build it but don't know if to do a CC replica or if there's a spec I can work too.
I'll take some pics later and add them but in the meantime hit me with your amazing knowledge.
Were they a predecessor of the CC loopy?
Were they a cheaper version?
Ta muchly in advance. :daumenhoch:
-
I did some research when I had my CC sig Prolite and I think they are from the same period ... just a cheaper non-signature version - pretty sure they looked pretty similar other than the looptail :-)
-
frames were from 84 / 85 ... same time as the CC one
this one has fooking awful tyres and non-Prolite forks ... but they do look nice frames

Here's Sean's proper CC for comparison

missing the gusset under the downtube and the looptail ... otherwise very simlar
-
The cc is reynolds 531 tubing,the non cc used cro mo 4130 tubing.The non cc is probably rarer than the cc,you dont see many about.
-
Yep, what he ^^^^^^^ said. I have one too, nice bit of kit and only a small number made.
-
Great... Thanks chaps. :bow:
As far as numbers go I can only find 45 on the BB.
Now I'm excited to get going with it.
Found some CC decals too.
I'll bucket the pics tomorrow. :daumenhoch:
-
as others have said the non sig model was made out of 4130 chromo -just a cheepo version-no looptail or gusset on the downtube ,think they were only made in chrome
few pics of mine
