Need some Prolite help please

[PHIPPSIO]

Hi All and a Merry Christmas 

Does anybody have a 85 Prolite catalogue scan, or an advert i could get a look at. I need info on the Prolite Craig Campbell factory bike and the standard Prolite too if possible. Not sure if the Campbell came as a bike or FF only? need to know colours etc....

Im in and out of the house today so ill check back as i can

Cheers a lot in advance
Dom

I think it came as F&F only, I had one and they were chrome or baby blue and 531 tubing with looped dropouts, the non CC version had straight dropouts.

There are a couple of bad shots here

From memory CC's was:
CC Signature Frame& Forks
Green or Blue Tuff II's
Skyway EZ bars
Redline Flights
Shimano DX's
DC brakes (Tech 3's and MX1000's??)

Ah wait I've found a thread on here with the perfect replica

Withy, thanks for that. I have one of each frameset and im trying to build them factory as a CC replica sounds expensive

Won't be cheap to build Dom, sell them and buy a Haro

I've got mags with both bikes in i think, if you need scans...........

Yeah Jay i know. To be honest my hearts not really in it but have had both for a while and wanted to see somthing as a result. The CC was going to be my rider    but its just in too good a condition to have me all over it so i thoght id try and build it as a factory example if there is such a thing, maybe not. The standard prolite is one of the most appallingly made bmx frames i have seen in person. Its quite interesting comparing the standard to the CC, lots of obvious differences.

shame the CC didnt come in white, would have made life easier 

If you have scans id be grateful mate, when you get a moment that is, no major rush

Cheers Chris, definately an expensive project then 

who is the other rider there in the last picture Chris?

[CD17]

I think that's Craigs brother Frazer.

Quite a Rad pair weren't they 

& yes going to be expensive, so maybe take Jays advice 

[PHIPPSIO]

[stuntmaster]

i never saw them as factory builds ,only as frame and forks and strange that lack of them as you used to get them for £50 quid bitd . they did break easy at seatpost section tho

[dordymush]

i thought it was only as a frame and forks too.

 yeah , defo nick jeffries there !!  remeber the pics  well.  wot ever happened to nick ?

[rosscoe]

were only ever frame and forks. I thought they came in white too.....but memory is a bit vague.

I sold loads for a local bike shop - on a sell 5 get one free basis iirc. Each box came with two set of decals too.........so I had loads and loads of sets for myself.......and nope, I dont still have em.

was my favourite handling boke of all time, tight head angle for its time suited me fine and the platform was great. ran mine with a set of hutch forks..

I'm pretty sure Rosscoe is right and they came in white also - I'll see if I have a scan

Cheers Jay. If theres a white one im happy as i can get that done easily of course. Dont want to distract from the main project 

[Moose]

Dom, I had a look at my scans today, but couldn't find a scan of a white one.

I used to own decals in 4 different colours - blue on chrome, orange on chrome, green on chrome and blue on white so I'm sure they came in white (just got no proof)

just chuck it in the canal and walk away

and you'd be jumping in right after it - even in your favourite Haro jersey
