Looks fantastic although I'd pull the bars back a fair bit as they are way forward and have you got the l/h fork decal the wrong way?  :-\

You've made an excellent job of bringing it back to its former glory.

I had the exact same Freestyle Pro in '84, same colour scheme white/blue except had Tuff II's...totally loved that bike, so seeing your resto job brings back memories.

Put it in my uncles garage for storage and recently found out he threw it out as he was fed up with it cluttering up his garage!....The bast*rd! Mind you he did have it for nearly 20yrs.

If you ever have intentions of selling this BadBoy, please give me a shout....would love to have a Freestyle Pro cluttering up my shed

Cheers
