went back to the grey tuffs on the prolite now i'd taken them off the grey/blue beat
prefer them as they match the decals better
matched them to a pair of  well used white haro tyres to keep it in survivor look as the frame is never going to be show quality.

This is a really cool build love the cools...
How is this different from a Craig Campbell? It looks similar? I thought the Freestyler has twin top tubes?

These are probably rarer than the cc as the signature model was the one to have BITD.
there was one in the show and shine at MK this year that was a great bike. Just a shame there are so many other lovely bikes there as well.

Love the one above with the grey Tuffs. Great job.  fistblump

I should have said these are 4130 and no looptaik but the same geometry. The cc is 531

Agree with you Brett,about them been rarer than the CC model only seen two others myself.
It's got the same geometry and as Brett said made out of 4130 Cromo instead of 531 Reynolds ,no loop tail and no down tube gusset.Rides nice though and think they were advertised at £119 in 1985!
