1984..... the futura has landed
« on: January 08, 2013, 04:00 PM »
Scored  this from the bay & it arrived today, been stripped & painted at some point but not bad overall.
Got some ammaco/acorns with it too which Will clean up nice.
From what i can find out these we're not a high end bike when new so not gonna go bonkers with the bits...





hope to get it together next week & must speak to del about doing some decals  :daumenhoch:

Sweet, and alot cheaper than a CW luggage rack.

Del's got a set of the Meteor-lite decals if you want to go that way with it.

That's cool I saw it on ebay very briefly :LolLolLolLol:

CW or CW copy Freestyle Bars would look cool I think. Tioga also did a version of the CW twin tube Freestyle bars as a cheaper alternative.

I still have my original CW Luggage Rack Freestyler but I also like these and the Meteorlites :daumenhoch:
