*** SURVIVOR - AMMACO FREESTYLER ***

[Steve P]

Went and bought this old Ammaco Freestyler today . . . a big thumbs up to "selfpreservation" for posting a link in the for sale section 

Some nice parts fitted but check out the drum brakes . . .  . . . I never saw this set up BITD

DP Freestyle bars
DK Freestyle stem
Araya 7X rims (never seen a brake pad)
Tuf Neck Power Disc and chainring
Sugino crank
GT Pedals
Suntour seat clamp

Perhaps someone can help confirm the frame era and model . . .



















Came with a some other interesting stuff too . . . !!! CLICKETY CLICK !!!  

Must have been my lucky day

nice one

looks like a cool bike

the funky drummer

[stuntmaster]

that sweet , i have one of those and very nice well built frame and forks . anyone know where i can get stickers from

[theRuler]

agewise you gotta be looking at 84 for that one

looks like the one that andy ruffel tested in action bike of that year - the same test where he announced he was quitting freestyle.
after that, they were all in white

looks like it has had a recent rebuild too.
the oddy dynatron BB wasnt about in 84, afaik.

as for the drums, didnt acs make a drum brake bitd?
and i think they were fitted to the cyclo trials bikes of the day, until hydraulic became the norm.

very tidy!

I'd hang onto those drums. Seems they are worth a bit. Woody Itson used them on his bike too bitd I think.

Sweet looking bike that. I saw the post that selfpreservation put up about it being for sale. If the gods are reading this and there really is a god of Karma, then you need to get him shining down on selfpreservation.

Top spot, top bike and top marks for the tip off to fellow radders. selfpreservation i salute you

I think it is a "Freestyle King" and they were out in 84 . My mate used to have one bitd and i am sure it said "Freestyle (or Freestyler) King" on the frame. I am guessing on the year to, might be 85.

how they work if you have.

[Steve P]

The brakes work great Dave and I'll get the some endo pics sorted this weekend for a laugh . . .

I think it must be an 85 Model Steve like a Freestyle King maybe. The headtube Gusset and Seatube area look a little different to the 84 Models Freestyle Ace and Freestyle Pro.
