I didn't really get into the freestyle side of riding in the 80's and never rode ramps until well into the 90's when bikes were pretty much all the same and weighed a ton. So I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to early freestyle bikes, other than I think they usually look pretty cool.
Anyway I've always been a Curtis fan and still have 2 pro race bikes. Then last year, the opportunity to buy a Curtis Freestyler came up. So I bought it and its just been sat on a shelf for the last 9 months.
Now I've finally decided to build it into another bike that I can ride occasionally. I have a rough idea of what/how I want to build and a vision in my head of colours etc. But I'm not exactly sure of what parts might be correct or how to do the pots mod thing (never ran a front brake on bmx ever).
So any help/input would be appreciated, or if you have any parts that I'm after or think I may be interested in please let me know. For starters I'd like a white laid back seat post and some white freestyle bars.

You cant go for a 901 as the front brake as you will not be able to spin the bars :daumenhoch: an 880 or Nippon is much better :daumenhoch:

Thanks, do I simply switch the adjuster and cable fastner around so I can route the cable bottom to top?

Exactly bud :daumenhoch:
Best not to use a caliper with a quick release mech on it as it messes it all up and makes it a bit tricky :-\
