Title: firebird freestyler
Post by: rollin72 on February 02, 2011, 01:29 PM
built this last year and was never quite happy with it, changed the bars for some nice haro sports (nice1 snav), gt layback, kashi aero, and white z-ds :smitten: (massive thanks to poolysheriff and lamby for these, nice1 fellas)

Ain't that amazing , I love builds with Tuffs , almost everytime .

But this Big Gman has transformed it from an "alright,, quirky ,doesn't please everyone kind of bike "into a proper stunner ,with those tweeks

Hats off to ya bud for doing the revamp , it's a belter now  :smitten:

Ooops just seen the Smiley  :-[

 :LolLolLolLol:

not taking the piss at all dude... I'd just switch up the colours to lose the red... but Gaz has it the way he likes it  :daumenhoch:

I just love dark blue / light blue / white bikes  :angel:

( For the record... I may well be an eejut but I don't need you tellin everyone  :LolLolLolLol: )

ed... i did think about doing it all blue but it wouldn't have looked right with blue tyres and i dont think black would've suited it either, the original white combo i did was too much, the tuffs were a wrong choice and the renthal layback angle was too much with the kashi mx, the aero has a better shape for a layback i think and the chrome parts suit it much better, no offence taken by your comment fella, at least you bothered to comment....you div >:D

im happy with it now and its staying as it is, Dubber your spot on mate, the things ive just mentioned did my head in as soon as id built it, but thats the beauty of this hobby, if your not happy play with it until you are :daumenhoch:

watch it ed cos snav's got my back and hes fookin huge :D

nice1 for the comments lads :daumenhoch:

No worries Ed  :daumenhoch:
I didn't mean it to look like you where a loon  :crazy2:
It just got my back up a bit that's all  :-[

So i'll give you a  :-* and a bit of  :bondage: if i ever meet you as way of an apology   :daumenhoch:
 
:coolsmiley:


 ;D will look forward to that  ^"^

Love the way you haven't followed the crowd but dared to do something that little bit different and come up with a unique custom build , well in mate  8)

I keep coming back for another look G , can't believe it's the same bike   :)

It is the 3rd reincarntion since you've had and it doesn't need changing again ,, it is unique and I love a well defined custom build as good as any factory spec  8)

Dat is phat maaaaan ;)

Just a suggestion R kid (dont want a good twattin of warringtons finest  ^"^ ) , a freestyler as lovely as that, that looks as rideable as that....might have the rear brake mounted upside down, underneath the brake bridge, that way, if you bring it to ramp city I can framestand it all round the place without standing all over the brake  :4_17_5:
