Just snagged this purely to satisfy my curiosity. Anyone seen one before?

Not sure about the frame but it looks like you've bagged yourself a few bobs worth of dp seat post there. Queue a few pms from those after one. Have you got a picture of the post?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #2 on:** February 03, 2015, 08:12 PM »

Thats all the pics i have at the mo. Didnt know DP did seatposts

dp and chopper dude · « **Reply #3 on:** February 03, 2015, 08:21 PM »

I thought dp post at first glance and got all excited but I think the angles look wrong.

Also, is it me or do the rear drop outs look like they've been cut off on the bottom edge $:-\$

Nooooooooooooooooooo

I like how one wheel has an extra spoke - very stylish

Loop is very piranha-ish

Probably cobbled together somewhere in the West Midlands using lead piping & chewing gum

Pretty cool though our mahogany-monger.

Unusual to see a frame with Green parts. I like it.

What are your plans with it?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #16 on:** February 08, 2015, 07:02 PM »

Either sympathetic survivor resto or strip, powder and replacement decals. Depends on the condition when it arrives.

BMX1973 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2015, 07:25 PM »

When it gets delivered you'll have to have a look for any markings or serial numbers.

I reckon it's got something to do with the futura family of freestylers, possibly an earlier one to the ones on the museum

Theres some obscure old Freestylers about can't rember for sure but I think I've seen something very similar by either Pacific, St Tropez or a company called CTS or something like that?

earlier ones have twin down tubes like mine & later ones have bent downtube like a performer. Lots of companies made things on a similar theme bitd

It's the looptail that's ethereal curveball for me. At the moment my thinking is possibly Johnson

Makes me think the rack was welded onto some leftover race frame to cash in on freestyle

oldschoolace · « **Reply #23 on:** February 18, 2015, 07:26 PM »

Well, just as I was starting to wonder it turned up today. The serials on the bb make for an interesting read. Any ideas gents?
