"Erm yes" said i
at last my 1987 Free Agent Limo F&F has arrived from the StatesÂ
seen here posing along side some of the parts already gathered
now for the really good bit
check out the top tube on this
note to Free Agent fans this has all the limo traits
small front gusset, ringed headtube, machined BB, the top tube length and diameter
but it doesn't have the rear chain stay cross brace.
This model has always had the brace in production so this is a mystery.At the mo i have Free Agent sealed bearing cassette hubs - from the early 90's i have been told
Odyssey Pitbull I with Dia compe Tech 77 lever and pozi stop seat clamp / cable router
Ame Tri grips
Tioga bars
DX style or Suntour XC II pedals
cheapy seat, chain, chain wheel and tuff neck power disk
also Redline 180 Monster Cranks - may change these though
3pc Padset but as top tube is 1 1/4 " dia,  pad don't go around itÂ
all came with F&F
Frame is sound with minor ding on brake bridge prob over tightening and rear drops have mild scuffingÂ
but it will be a rider / racer so none of thats an issue
its currently running 45 / 18 so i think that will need to change
i wanna run 40 / 14 (ish) which is ok for the time of this F&F
Rims and stem still need to think about and find those items
should look nice next to me 91 cruiser
(both need decals)
what do ya think then ?Â
hey did any one know who had the pale blue free agent at Bournemouth ?
that was sweet
