Title: Need to Pick your Brains Radsters
Post by: Jamroll on August 22, 2009, 03:59 PM: Have the opportunity to pick up a frame and fork set which look quite nice,
The problemo is I've never heard of the build :-\
1987 Landis Freestyler
Could anyone here maybe give the the heads up on this bike or even a little background info????

Post by: cherrypicker on August 22, 2009, 10:20 PM: Wasn't there a rider in the early eighties called Mike Landis? I'm going to have to google it now.

Are you in the States - I found an American cycle distributor called Landis Cyclery??

Post by: cherrypicker on August 22, 2009, 10:36 PM: Me again ??? Found a brief mention of them over on bmxmuseum by member called bmxbrigade86. The thread is about the worst department store own brand bmx so i'm guessing the Landis Cyclery place made their own freestyler.
