Dave's correct, they did make a race frame as well.

Although the freestyler remained essentially the same design, there were variations on the same theme. I'm not sure if these were custom requests or 'factory options'. e.g. no built in fork/frame standers, extra brace tube between seat-tube and down tube.

I've got one back at my folks house that I'm going to rebuild when I've finished my cruiser.

I remember ordering it back in the day and I think the only options were welded fork and frame standers. Also I think the only made white and chrome?

Does anyone think they could become quite a rare bike? Haven't seent that many around.

Not seen a Lavender one... must of been a custom order.

Mine is white with no add-ons. Can't wait to get it built up. I've got some photos of it when I first built it up and it looked real nice. All white.
