i'd like to see a few more of the lower cost bikes being done.i mean how many of us started off with pk rippers and T/A's.
nice job and i like the colour.im thinking of doing this ole meteorlite a weird shade.

motomagII · « **Reply #3 on:** October 05, 2005, 08:27 PM »

had to be yellow but decided on this odd shade .think it turned out great colour .will update pics when finished with decals and all .my first bike was motomag second hand but then went to new and of course as you say cheaper too .this was probably less money new cpmplete than a dp frame .it also will have cost me more to rebuild than it cost new lol

I need some good picture's of freeway freestyler decals - anyone?

Peanut · « **Reply #6 on:** October 06, 2005, 09:21 AM »

I had one in lavender, the frame craked where the downtube meets the headset, freeway replaced it with one that had a straight downtube, gusset and a lovely pearloid finish that had a blue tint to it in the sun.

I have a chrome one.

Phil, I will get you those pics of the decals soon.

Have not had a lot of time at home of late.

uncanny
the one my mate had, the downtube had snapped right by the headset, and he bought it cheap (i think it was virtually new!) and got it welded.
i think his mum worked at the department store where the bike had been returned to.

it weighed a good 40 pounds

dordymush · « **Reply #10 on:** October 15, 2005, 01:18 PM »

motomagII · « **Reply #11 on:** October 15, 2005, 02:20 PM »

it is the only one i had i think 165/ish short .

ORB · « **Reply #12 on:** October 15, 2005, 03:45 PM »

Looks cool man.

Shorten that chain, flip the seat guts over, lose the frame pad (looks a bit dodgy)

I like it.

It has just reminded me to sort ou some pics of the decals for you.

motomagII · « **Reply #13 on:** October 15, 2005, 08:26 PM »

thanks orb wasnt sure what to do with the seat guts they dont seem to fit the layback right .all i need is the decals from moose and its finished looks good in this colour me thinks .
