I'm building up my rickman freestyler, has anyone any bike mag info from when they can out (mine is an 84 model with the fixed pegs). do you know what parts they had on them? like seat post, stem, cranks, brakes, pedals,seat, seat clamp, I have got some ideas on some parts i want to put on it but any help is greatly appreciated :daumenhoch:
-
dont think they came as completes
-
They did come as complete bikes :coolsmiley:
-
Are these rickman's any good, quiet rare arn't they :-\
-
i would say they are quite rare, not many in the bmx musumns especially original paint or chrome. & there british!!! :Great_Britain: :smitten:
-
What would you expect to pay for a frame and forks
-
mates had em bitd reynolds tube, brazed , there rare cos they all broke , head tube pull straight off, usually whilst six foot up in the air , then the top tube would stick in your leg or worse when you hit the ground :LolLolLolLol: all the one i saw were white but i think they did a chrome :-\
-
yeah they did do a chrome one
-
there's a couple on bmxmuseum the white complete looks like most of the ones my mates had but that one is missing the stands, black ones look nice though :daumenhoch:
-
The black ones are nice :smitten:
-
they are very nice riders.
the bars are very hard to find.
finished this a few years ago.

They did one with a diagonal reinforcement bar from the seatube to the downtube to.
They did come as a complete, i used to have a scan of an advert, but I cant find it. Im sure it had blue skyways.

Nice one Dan - I have a blue and red one with an embroidered Nike swoosh from the early 80s - I need a Head holdall that someone has scralled L.C.F.C on (grew up in Leicestershire - Villa were not smiled on) and I have tried to cover up with marker pen to complete my 'going to f-ing school in 80s' look - I even had a back perm for a bit - still living that one down...
