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.

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

Cool collection of rides.

Very nice build and collection there

Peeps are great on here for helping out with builds

Being tall, can deffo recommend a flex fighter if you wanna raise the stem.

very nice - agree with dubber those parts look very nice for a rider, would be scared of scratching that lovely blue off the cranks

Dan73 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2011, 11:05 AM »

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......?

Dan
