*** SURVIVOR - AMMACO FREESTYLER ***
« on: August 28, 2006, 05:23 PM »
Went and bought this old Ammaco Freestyler today . . . a big thumbs up to "selfpreservation" for posting a link in the for sale section  :daumenhoch:

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 !!!   :shocked:

Must have been my lucky day

Steve

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!

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 :angel:

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.  :)

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.
