prolite freestyler
« on: July 29, 2018, 09:41 PM »
made a few changes to my prolite freestyler
this is how I've had it built for the last few years



updated :








changes made:
added white coaster tuffs-kept the duro remold tyres on as I'll be rolling on it this summer
thanks to Steve for the diamondback stem -close copy to a skyway one
thanks to Deeman for the grey hotseat  :4_17_5:
thanks to Stevecosta for the acs mini mountain bike brake levers
finished off with spinmaster and CW folding fork standers

went back to the grey tuffs on the prolite now i'd taken them off the grey/blue beat
prefer them as they match the decals better
matched them to a pair of  well used white haro tyres to keep it in survivor look as the frame is never going to be show quality.

This is a really cool build love the cools...
How is this different from a Craig Campbell? It looks similar? I thought the Freestyler has twin top tubes?

These are probably rarer than the cc as the signature model was the one to have BITD.
there was one in the show and shine at MK this year that was a great bike. Just a shame there are so many other lovely bikes there as well.

Love the one above with the grey Tuffs. Great job.  fistblump

I should have said these are 4130 and no looptaik but the same geometry. The cc is 531

Agree with you Brett,about them been rarer than the CC model only seen two others myself.
It's got the same geometry and as Brett said made out of 4130 Cromo instead of 531 Reynolds ,no loop tail and no down tube gusset.Rides nice though and think they were advertised at £119 in 1985!
