Hi peeps :daumenhoch: Rickman freestyler .. how many variations of this frame set did they do and when where they built ? ive seen two examples being with and without fork standers ,any help appreciated :daumenhoch:
Im putting ad in wanted sec if anyone has one they want to sell
-
The search tool is very useful for this type of info.
With Rickman you could order them with or without foot standers on the rear and on the forks and a combination there of. They were available in colours as well as chrome, most common are white and chrome. BITD we sold green, blue, white, black and chrome but I am pretty sure they would do custom colours if requested.
-
I think you could also order them with an extra bar coming from the BB up towards, and joining in the middle of the two top tubes (if that makes sense)
Just looked in the museum and it looks like the extra tube went from the middle of the downtube up to the seat tube :daumenhoch: must've been the Rebal freestyler that had the other tube.

Are you sure? I thought the March Freestyler was very different to the Rickmans :-\

Yes the Badlanders are very different but i have a late eighties issue of freestyle BMX with a test on a March Freestyler which is basically a Rickman :daumenhoch:
