Nice one matey,it's great to get something nostalgic back isn't it?

If i can i'm trying to get my 1st freestyle bike i had for my 13th birthday - Ammaco Freestyler King with blue accessories, ive only got 1 pic of it of me in my pyjamas on my birthday morning.

I'd love to have that as a show bike, sadly they're quite rare nowadays i think.

Hi

There are a few Champs (I know of about a ten) about and still pretty much a niche market, that don't make the money they deserve considering the original cost of the bikes in the 80's.

What is the full spec of your bike (escpecially the stem), I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Hoping to restore this next year -

Heres a build from a fellow Aussie. Very nice. I was forever racing a factory Profile rider BITD. Darren May. He was quick which is why he had a factory sponsor and I had a bike shop sponsor. clic to enlarge
