Considering that this was the best selling freestyle f/f of 85/86 there seems to be very few of them left, what happened to them all ?

Great job Sean, have you got a pic of it when you first started the resto job

Ok here are 4 pictures of the frame when I received it and one when the seat tube has been replaced before welding.

What an amazing restoration job that was done by Jay and Graeme, without them both it would be a useless piece of metal. Guys I salute you.

Work in progress

more pics..........

Hope you don't mind me posting more pics sean, but those dropouts were in bad shape , they are still the original dropouts , only rebuilt , didn't do any before pics , shame ......

tricknuts · « **Reply #37 on:** January 04, 2006, 10:02 PM »

that is exactly the build I was dreaming of doing and posting here on rad. All I needed was a prolite frame. why Oh why did i ever give up my original one??

Hadn't seen those Craig campbell photos before. I think thats the first photo Ive seen without peter hawkins watching. notice Neil's there tho.

We really need to get Craig on site here. Anyone know his DJ agency to contact?

We have tried to get some contact with him, I was told that he`s working with Frazer now doing interior decorating, but we`ll keep trying

he should get back on his bike then, instead of farting around with curtains and wallpaper...

Sean, you git!

And to think, i nearly blagged that off you.

You dont her proud old boy.

It still bugs me to think that this was the biggest selling bike of 85 and they just dont seem to exist any more, I know of about 5 in total and that includes Craigs on that resides at Sarfsea (that came very close to getting ram raided)

Some rare UK freestyler there old boy.

Well done.

A+

it is also true that craig campbell has one as he bought it out of loot a few years ago ,the guy seliing it must have thought wow ,if he knew who he was saying that i didn`t know who billy stupple was when he turned up to buy his first old skool bmx in 20 years that why i never showed him the bmx collection

i to had one of those craig campbell signatures, i won it at kos in 85 (thanks stodgy cya on sunday mate) it was that same baby blue colour,but i ended up doing something rather foolish with it, i swapped it for a aero pro burner which just proved i av no brains. excellent rebuild stidds it brings back some memories.
oh by the way mine was 006 what is your number
