Finally got my holy grail.....Chrome Rickman Freestyler
« on: February 12, 2011, 09:43 PM »
Just had this delivered yesterday,good price off the bay,he never had oldschool in the title so it didnt get many bids. :D

This was the bike i had back in the day but it was stolen in 86. :-\

Going to build it exactly as it was when it was nicked,right down to the copy tech 3s and victor dx pedals. :smitten:

Condition of forks and front triangle is mint,rear triangle has some chrome flake,and its missing a downtube decal. ;D

Only the third one i have seen on the bay in the 3 years i have been into oldschool :daumenhoch:

Sorry for crap blackberry pics,too excited to get the camera out. :daumenhoch:








And here is me getting rad back in the day before it got nicked :D


Will take a while to get this built,although i have amassed a few parts waiting for when i finally got one in chrome.

I also have to finish the painted one i have :daumenhoch:

Did i not send you a picture ?????


They're over Sawzalls at the moment. They were defo MRD Expert bars as they were a mirror copy of his Pro bars but slightly smaller mate. I'll get some across to you as soon as. They need a rechrome though but that was expected.
