No, big discussion on fbook about it though. Apparently it's a DCT racing freestyler that's had the rear loop chopped off

It was a little steep if you ask me. Those frame were hi ten steel.
Not sure how much the possible link to melanie vauvelle adds to it.
certainly interesting!

Ah, I did wonder if it was Hi-ten....glad I didn't bother now. I liked the Melanie Vauvelle ultra bmx stickers, but they were just the shop stickers..i don't think they have any connection to the bike as such.

I did wonder as any references i could find to her were all race orientated

Same forks as acorn freestyler probably same factory welds were shocking I'd have taken the 4 dp stunt pegs off n delisted it someone would have bid on it again but if some poor bigger thinks they've got a trm they gunna be gutted

Not bad parts on it, Tioga Task force crank, scarce pink GT shinko tyres, uber rare GT seat in any condition, dp pegs, GT mallet stem, CW bars. Price wise whoever got it didn't do too badly

Someone did nail some decent parts on it Steven, that's what made me wonder if it is a DCT

If your a completist for UK bikes then I'm sure someone will be well happy with the frame and forks. Just spotted the GT Epoch headset also, someone really did had a GT obsession. It's not Costas first bike is it?
Sell the parts and you've got a F+F for £100

I see what you mean about the hoop cut off now....would explain those weird bits of tape, probably to cover it up. What a POS, I knew it wasn't a TRM but thought by the quality of the parts it might have been ok i.e made of cromoly which would have made it interesting. It doesn't surprise me that someone bought it for the pegs!
I thought the seat was a shotgun II.....Not surprised Melanie V wanted to disassociate herself from it!!

here is some examples of a POS

I'm sure someone is over the moon with the pegs, hard to get as is a DP layback

Never seen one of those seats before...worth knowing. It didn't work out too bad for whoever got it then really

chubby · « **Reply #24 on:** January 20, 2016, 07:58 PM »

Think it wasn't a bad buy really. That French dp frame n forks went for more dosh the other month
