Saw that earlier and thought it had your name all over it!  Good pick up, look forward to seeing it built.

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 ?

Here is the Link to it on OS BMX but you will need to log in to see it.

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:

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:

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.
