well no , apart from the RSR decals in 84 these are 83 . They look like they have been on for a while though, ill see when it comes ... They have got the small R logo though so do look original .. Who knows .. I've only ever seen 3 ...
I like the sky styler logo ... Has anyone seen this on any other bike ?

Thanks Brett ... So are the decals original ? How did these bikes just happen to have the same decals and both be in Germany . :-\
Here's my original , also picked up from Germany with original decals .

So you now have 2 very rare Freestylers, and I can think of someone who hasn't got one. If you'd bought it this time last year, your phone wouldn't have stopped ringing today. :LolLolLolLol:
-

-
For someone who had done their last build ........... your doing very well Carl ........ 2 framesets and a full bike in a week ::) :D :LolLolLolLol:
Love it ;D

I think I have a problem ... ;D

The big mans back with a Bang :4_17_5:
Carl that's another top score.... :smitten:
As for the decals they would suggest to be applied from new maybe they were manufactured in Germany and those were the decals for them ?
Gotta say though the 85-86 decal on yours looks more era correct to me :daumenhoch:
I have your rockin horse poop rare frame here too. :smitten: :smitten:

Love it ;D

:LolLolLolLol: Yes ........ Beer and kids bikes !! :D
Now get Lenny to part with some Blue Z's for it ;)
-
Right my conclusion ... The decals are wrong !!!!! The reason two bikes have the same decals is because they are both in Germany and someone has copied the other .... The reason for this , i've just spotted the decals are square ..... Originals are cut to shape , so they are copies ... And there's only me that's copied the 85-86 decals for my team pro , they were only used for 2 years ... :daumenhoch:

Very nice find :4_17_5:
And I do agree with the thought for the baby blue, though that chrome does look mint.
-
It's arrived and the chrome is awesome .. I really shouldn't have it powdered .. ::)

would depend on whether the chrome is keyed first :shocked:

Another sweet pick up Carlos. Keep it chrome, ride it and wait for a tatty one that deserves powder :daumenhoch:
