For me it has to be the Trick Star MKII. I didn't used to like the original Trick Star but they've grown on me over the years. However, the MKII was just hidious!

This at the moment because i can't find a pic of the Vector i wanted... you all know what it looks like!!

I Had a curtis freestyler,

-
pretty much all of them, but those first vincents with the kick tail were ugly
-
Saw a scorpion freestyler on the bay not so long ago that looked like dog cronk
-
You guys are all forgetting the skyway ta with the clamp on double frame thing right ?

Agreed but you could at least unbolt them if you had taste...my TA came with one...that particular 'freestyle platform' is now gathering dust in a pile of unloved stuff.
You just know it was an attempt to cash in on freestyle...

probaly worth a bomb now too ;)

your all wrong ,80 freestyle bikes are smart as f*%k , they may be ugly but at leased there different , not like race frames, non-looptail looptail i cant decide errrrrr.......... fooking neither :tickedoff:
-

no offence taken mate. gotta admit i love the ugly bikes.lol

Bigfrawg get some pics up of that DP thing that lurks in the corner of your kitchen :-*
-
Man I loved the CW Mike Buff!!! Hot Wheels opened a 2nd branch in Cosham near where I lived & whenever I went there with me ma I'd just sit in the shop looking at that CW whilst she went shopping etc.... Must've really freaked the old guy out in there!?
-
I hate them HUTCH Trick 2's really look like a bag of steaming cow plop,hate the vincent,vector,cw,brakedancer etc etc and would not even accept one for free.
No disrespect to anyone that has one or is building one..I just don't like them.
-
Any generic build with 249 pounds of extra tubing...

-
if anyone has freestyle bikes they cant stand to look at, i'll give them a loving home. ;D
-
I saw a Vector Freestyler last night ( Monday) and it didn't look too bad, it was a candy red and the owner thinks it's probably the only one in this country, the only one he has seen as knows about anyway.
Soon to be up for sale aswell and he's a RAD member.
-
the Kuwahara Magician was a frame only a mother could love :(
got this one in the loft in bits-

I restored this (it was my first project back in about 99)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y79/dingobmxer/cw8.jpg)
havent got any "after" pictures as I left it at my psycho ex's the night she stabbed me
:) DINGO :)
-
Call me a nut job..............
...................but................
its all those wacky ideas that somes up the time for me, ok most of were a bit, how shall we say it.......plop.
But you just never knew which company would come up with the next big thing.
Things are so dull now with new bmx's there are resorting to copying the 80's all over again :(
Mind you I've not seen a 2009 Trickstar II yet :D
-
gotta admit i would love a scorpion breakdancer. .lol
shall i get my coat

Hutch trickstar 2 or the vdc freestyle bike ( bloody expensive ) for such an ugly bike

I agree with you on Hutch TS 2 but.....A VDC Freestyler, Ugly ? I don't think so ! I think is AB FAB ! expensive ? yes but if I have a few grand to spare and be lucky enough to find one, I'll buy the fooking VDC Freestyler F/F, it will be worth the investment !
check this out (scroll down to the white one with a unique set of rare & very expensive wheels)

Exactly what is wrong with the VDC Freestyler ? Please explain....
In my opinion, that bike is beautiful and highly sought after. Over at BMX museum, a built up VDC Freestyler bike in chrome was sold for $5000 and a F/F for £3000.
Cheers :daumenhoch:

I think it is personal choice-VDC Freestyler looks like a trolly crash at Netto..don't wet the bed over it Nick..I mean Mr Santa Ana...gotta rush and knock one off over my vector bastardstyler.
-
That trickstar looks like the b@stard son on a meccano set :idiot2:
-
a disgrace of a frame and forks! but i wouldn't mind trying one if i were given it, i bet even i could snap it in two! :LolLolLolLol:

Where do you start? Voris threw a set of tubes in the air and on the way down they hit every fooking branch and leaf on the ugly tree ::). Hence the VDC Freestyler was born. Just because the yanks spend a small fortune on them doesn't make them in any way desirable to others, a high class hooker is still a hooker what ever way you say it ;).
-
Trickstar 2 for deffo ;)
-
Oh well.... I give up arguing then !
Cheers ! :daumenhoch:
-
I like the VDC Freestyler & the Free Agent (VDC Made) I think they show the imagination of the 80s designers, these were like nothing else & not copied from something else, unlike some of those UK built bikes with all the silly Skyway Freestyle Platform ad on things which would get my vote :(
Or the Trickstar II ;D
-

Aye it was ugly but very useful for the transportation of icecream cones.

i never broke one and i know other people who didn't break them,i was talking to a old school world bmx freestyle champion who rode a dp ff and he never broke one,infact he said it rode nice. so from that ex world champs statement i'd disagree.
don't haros snap though ?? ;D
-
Coz they must have been snapping as Dave Parks decided to serial number them. I think you told me that info ;D
Thats why im scared to ride mine too hard as its an unstamped early1 :Great_Britain: :smitten:

I reckon this MCS has got to be in contention:

MCS Styler
pity it hasn't got any style ;D
:P
-
I'm going out on a limb here. I like it.
I'm not into the colour but a black, chrome or white one of them and the right spec, it'd be the balls.
-
No sorry that is nasty :crazy2:
-
man theres some ugly frames about when you look lol.
trickstar 2 though has to be top of the ugly list.
-
kuwi freestyler, just copy someone elses bike
but what else would we expect from the asian burner company

Those GT Pro performers are w@nk aswell ::)

Cracked forks,downtube and seat tube on my DP.Everything bitd had a lifespan.Some brands just lasted a bit longer than others...

Thanks , I do like that. It'd end up a bit pricey by the time customs pick your pockets. In the UK and £200 count me in. Bars are a like a pikey version of EZ's, black VDC Itson's would be my weapon of choice. :daumenhoch:

Dont know quite whats going on here, but this one is far whackier than the red one on page 5. Check out the double chain staysand flared footstands.
(http://i.ebayimg.com/06/!Bjl53gQBGk~$(KGrHqQOKjwEtFUeelr,BLUMpgvD,Q~~_35.JPG)
It looks like its trying to squeeze one out in this photo. Quite apt really as its shite...lol (joke)
(http://i.ebayimg.com/13/!Bjl5v2wCGk~$(KGrHqEOKjEEsmmVpGlGBLUMpJf9Sg~~_35.JPG)
Infact its a completely different frame by the look of the down tube... Could be a toned down mk 2?

Seen some weird back triangles in my time Danny but that one is fookin Berzek :crazy2:
Did any known freestylers ride these frames/did they have a trick team/any bike tests from old mags?
Be interesting to see what they rode like.. ;)

I was looking on that ebay price records site and someone paid $800 for a trick star II in october. I bought one once for a few parts off it, the build quality was about what you'd expect on a £50 toys r us bike.
