Free Agent info?
«

Hi everyone,
I wondered if anyone knew the Free Agent timeline, ie what models for what years.
I'm getting one pretty sure, but don't know what year it is. (Been told mid 80's)
Any info would be great!
Cheers!
Paul

best bet is to get onto VBMX mid school
and get Galen Starlin talking
he's ex factory FA in the mid 80's to early 90's
it should have a serial on rear right drop
MM YY XXXX (if its on BB shell then its a later mid 90's i think)
from 87ish on the limo replaced the pro long
it has a extra bar across chain stays near BB
plus the machined head and BB
get some pics up paul
PS still got your cranks here mate

Cheers Kev, (Once I get it I'll have a good look at the serial number, and post some pics.)
Here's the only pic I have so far. (Got some quality kit on it eh?)
And no Chubs, the Torker will not be sold! (But you keep trying

looks like a limo matey
lurvely 21" top tube
one of the other VBMX regulars sean riggs did some early script font decals
he may have some left
if its a later model and needs the squarer font check out bmx musemum
they did have them - think repeat think it was 89 the decal stlye changed
check the follwoing link for some good info

That is all so cool!
Thx for that peeps, keep em coming.
Hope to have it in my sweaty mitts in a couple of days, I'll post some pics then.
Kev, where can I get the decals? (Any links to save my poor smashed wrist? - Speaking of which - gotta have 1 more operation to put a titanium plate put in meaning it'll never be able to move any more, but will be set in a rider friendly position, and will be pain free! Yeehaw! However it also means I'll miss out on the British Champs this year

Great scans/info above...
Here's the Cruiser,as it is at the moment...
Kev,it's got the square stickers,yet it's an 88.Do you reckon they were added.I haven't seen any other pre-89/90 frames with the later font..They're shot anyway,so I'll either go for the team decals on BMXM,or try and get some script repros....
If I get time I'll build it up for the next hersden..

ooh thats nice
is it the pro rather than the limo ?
i asked shawn (kastanman on VBMX) who did the script decals
& he said he had seen early 89 with script decals and also late 88 with block
so it seems it would be prob orig on yours there
also meaning then you could use either no worries
may have to get mine sorted now then
esp as ratty's thinking of 24" OS race at hersden in june
nice to see the brand getting some daylight at last
i have some where the bmx bi weekly test of the pro
i'll scan it up

I'm thinking it's a pro...TT is 20.75....Shortest cruiser I've had,although should make hopping between 20" & 24" a bit easier...

Errr,
I think it started 0789 making it a 1989??
Thinking about powdering it Yellow now, as that was the factory team colour.

lets see some more pics of the score!
here is my 89 limo:
89 Team Pro crusier:
and my other 89 limo that I took apart for my crusier (gone now):
I remember before S&M got big alot of the dirt jumpers were riding FAs. very heavy duty frames for sure. the one in the first pic is my main rider and has been for a long time. I don't just cruise either
