Managed to aquire one of these today.
Don't know much about them to be honest, were they any good? I remember them coming out and me thinking they looked quite cool but that was a long time ago.
I'll post some pictures when photobucket starts working again. :daumenhoch:
-
Ive had 2 and like um :)
Andy irwin designed it ::)
-
I've had a look through the museum and there's none in this colour, which looks original to me.
Were they British bikes then, I thought they were American made?
-
someone mentioned about these last week,blame spicoli for the design ;) :2funny:

Apparently this is an origina colour as the guy I got it off has had it from new.

-
I'm inagining you'll be wanting it then would you? :LolLolLolLol:
-
Trade secret I'm afraid. :LolLolLolLol:
Seem's to have been one bloody good trade ;)
-
Wicked !!!! Ive not seen one with those fork on before .What are they off ? the originals had standers at the bottom of the forks .Alan's wre selling LG copies with his .The freestylist has a 5" headtube and is difficult to get forks for . :fart:
I like the colourway tho .......... :4_17_5:
-
BTW i have a sticker set for a freestylist that i got off alan 3 year ago if anyone needs one :daumenhoch:
-
No idea what the forks are. To be honest I only got it at 10 to 5 on Saturday and looked at it for a few minutes then banked up and came home. I won't see it again for another wek as I'm off on holiday this week.
I may be interested in that sticker set you have though Craig. :daumenhoch: Although they would be for an all white frame I imagine.
-
I will take a photo of the decal set when youre ready fella :daumenhoch: Just LMK
-
Nice set of yellow tuffs available at the moment so could e tempted to revert it to an all white model.
It is tempting to keep it this colour though, although I haven't seen another like it so I'm not sure about the decals for it.
-
Spent a bit of quality time checking it over and stripping it down and discovered that the paint in't original so it'll be put back to white only. So if I can grab that decal set off you Craig that'd be cool.
Already started to aquire some bits here and there for it so I'll get busy with it early next year. Give me something to do when the shop is quiet. ;)
-
Right this is what it's looking like now.

Can't decide whether to go for white grips and seat or yellow grips and seat. Leaning towards the yellow I think.
Waiting for the decals but then it should be about finished.
Looks real classic old school freestyle to me. :LolLolLolLol:

Yellow seat and grips for sure :daumenhoch:
:coolsmiley:

Looking good fella. I'm in the middle of a build too. Have decided to go for a red/white/chrome colour scheme though.
