Got hold of an old 'Pro Star' '84 frame in chrome.Were these something to do with Diamondback bitd? I've also got a ProLite 'aero' frame and forks in chrome.Its got oval tubing.I dont remember these- is it any good? They are both a bit rusty but will polish up ok.Any pics would be good :daumenhoch:

Looking at those pics in the old ad above, the frames look almost identical apart from the gussets.
But BITD, I always thought Pro Star was just a budget in-house brand which Freewheeler Leisure Products introduced to complement the high end Diamond Backs they imported/distributed.

They do look the same don't they :-\ . It was bloody heavy though.

prostar was my 2nd bmx,lets not lie,they were sh**e so heavy.
but still a great find. :smiley6600:

You are right about the frames being the same apart from the gusset 'cause I got a diamondback frame at the same time.
-
oh god .. I had a prostar as my first BMX, i do remember thinking bloody hell this is heavy compared to my mates bikes.
And yep i remember seeing that advert , being really grateful that my mum and dad had bought me the bike but secretly wishing i had the one above it lol
:D

That Red Aero Saddle looks totally huge what was the tt length like 11's or something :) or is it just the 10mm instamatic camera playing tricks on my eyes!
-

looks cool in retrospect though 8)

Yep, same my first bmx was a Pro Star. Loved it.
Check out the museum. There's a member on here who knows loads about them. He's got a few pics in the museum.
Happy days. :smitten:
