Chris, little tip on how to clean the rust marks out of the top of the stem bolts, get an ear bud and cut it in half, put it in a dremmel, put some Autosol on the ear bud piece and turn on the dremmel and go to work on the inside of the stem bolts, in a few mins they will all look like new again  :daumenhoch:

They are actually lavender, but a bit faded.

Quality work.

I am also falling for Trickstar's they do look great.

Are the bars VDC or Hutch? Tasty bars either way and a great riding position.

(Have you got decals on them? Biaggio has VDC stickers at £7.50 - got some last year and they are great)

(PS - never new that you owned a Freestyler, thanks for the info)

Yes it did come from US ebay.

The rotor has a built in flex fighter, but it does flex a little bit.

They are the most coolest  :daumenhoch:
