Rickman Rider

Always fancied a Rickman Freestyler BITD.
Picked up a frame and fork on the bay, and decided I really wanted a rider this year. I want to get out on some of the rides and meet a few other old radsters
Did the two Curtis's last year but they're a bit too posh to chuck about.
The frame was black when I got it, so off it went to Dan for a white powder. Got it back this week and the finish is stunning. Together with the help he offers, and the turn around time, I cant recomend Dan highly enough. I wont be going anywhere else from now on.
The bits are not all era correct as I want to ride it. New tuffs, brake blocks, and shark bite pedals all help make it a good ride.
Post is up high to I can pedal it at just over 6 foot tall.
Big thank you also to Del for the great decals, and all those (esp. Mani) for the bits and the advice.
Bits:
Brakes: NOS MX 901 1984.
Cranks: Survivor Sugino GT
Stem: Survivor DK
Bars: Survivor GT
Tyres: Panaracer Freestyle
Post: Survivor Renthal
Seat: Survivor Flyte Tech
Cheers, Dan
As it arrived:
After some SBD lovin.
Brit Pack (in the kitchen! Got Missus a big valentines card!)

Nice bike, never really looked at these before. Styling mixed between a Master/Performer with a loop tail?
Cool collection of rides.

Thanks very much for all the comments.
I probably have overdone it on the bits considering it's a rider, but you see nice gear and it's bloody hard to resist.
To be honest my riding will probably be limited to some of the rad rides, and I might just ride it round to the ramps in Thame where I live.
Anyway, thanks again, and I'm loving being part of the rad community.
Next build......?
