Right here is my latest build ...a few of you will have seen it before and probably owned it at some point as its been passed around a few of you before being shifted on quickly...I can only assume it was never loved because of its sh1tty yellow paint?...I didnt like that either so started to change it somewhat ...now I know a lot of you will hate its colour change but I like it and yes it is mine and not a young girls bike so say what you want ...I really liked it because of the twin top and twin downtubes as it was a little different and I fancied doing another freestyler for a change so here it is... ...I have tried to stick to 4 main colours on this and these are picked out in the decals...Black/Silver/Baby Pink/clear which shows frame colour through...ie creamy white ...
Parts list....
Falcon Prostyler f&f...re-powdered in an Ivory white(think warm white)
Custom decals by the man that can Del-cals
Skyway mk1 freestyle bars (powdered to match) and custom Skyway decals in black
Sugino unstamped opc polished by me
Tange BB and Sharp BB boot in pink
Wellgo dx style pedals repainted in baby pink (all names etc ground of and smoothed out by me)
Cam usa tuff style chainring repainted and teeth polished by me

Skyway tuff2 in pink+ Neils decals and pink/white dice by me
Duro pool comp tyres
Acs locking levers,stripped and polished by me
Dia Compe 87 pink cables
Dia Compe 901 and fs880 calipers polished by me
Skyway freestyle brake pads in pink
Renthal layback post stripped and polished by me and a new Del's decal
Mx seat clamp polished by me
Trick top saddle in pink
Ame grips in pink
Redline forklifter copy stem stripped and polished by me
Think thats about it?...a few more bits to come to finish it off but this will be on-going so will update as and when...let me know your thoughts folks...be brutal if you feel the need ...also the pics are a little poo as it was so sunny today it was a little bright for my sh1tty camera phone
Before...

Well done if you have made it this far down ;D Let me know what you all think and be brutal if you feel the need :-\...oh and before anyone says...I know the grips are dirty...I could'nt resist a little roll around on it ;)...Cheers Ronnie :coolsmiley:

That works well :daumenhoch:

Nothing Personal, but just not "My cup of Tea" :-\
However, it's your ride dude and you built it how you wanted it. :daumenhoch:

Nice but would change those tyres for some flesh walls. :daumenhoch:
-
Nice job fella :daumenhoch:
-
Nice Build!! :daumenhoch:
Just the right amount of gay like all mid to late 80's freestyle builds..........very Miami Vice.
Tan/skin wall tires would be a nice improvement too!! :)
-
Nothing wrong with that Ron :coolsmiley:
Like Moley said neon freestylers are 8) even if a tad gay. I know your man enough to pull it off :daumenhoch:
Got them pics done just in time before the messy wet weather ;)
-

-
do like the warm white (lol) falcon , but i liked it before, too. :-[
-
There's nothing gay about a big pair of pink fleshy boobs....
That aside, while I'm not a big fan of pink, I am liking that BMX :daumenhoch:
hmmmm time for spandex and vaseline ;)
Ray.

Cheers for the comments guys...was expecting a bit more of a ribbing for a pink one but hey im not gonna complain ;D...I will look at trying some amber/skin/gum walls but need to find some freestyle tyres not comp 111 I reckon ???
-
My daughter has just come in as I was looking at this ....... her reaction ........ I want one of those ! :D
I reckon it works Ronnie, also agree that it needs some tan/skinwall tyres though ;) Try Skatepool on ebay , he had some panaracer freestyle one's a while back ;)
