Rickman Freestyler ,work in progress * finished *
« on: June 22, 2012, 10:01 PM »
Picked my Rickman up from the powdercoaters today and couldn't resist making a start on it  :)
I love blue and white bikes so picked this blue which is RAL 5012

They don't look wrong in white Olly  :coolsmiley: and they only came in chrome or white originally. I have a white one (Race bike).


It is nice to be different though  :4_17_5: :4_17_5: should look real good when stickered up.

One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Love that blue , and yes nice to see a non standard issue colour.
Always thought I might change my white one to flour green one day.

And noticed no pegs on rear but pegs on forks, opposite way round to the one Rick is doing at the moment :-)

cheers for the comments guys  :)
The blue was inspired by the old gt colour ,or the blue that haro sports came in , well along them lines anyway
gonna get on to Del to get some custom decals made same font and style etc just in different colours.
Looking back through old archives you could order rickmans with or without the standers bitd so dont mind not having any on the back ,
Also i've seen an ad/price list from bitd which says you could have them in a few different colours, but these were probably a special order ,
i'll try and get a pic up if i get chance  :daumenhoch:
