Pro Star

[Voodoocars]

Got hold of an old 'Pro Star' '84 frame in chrome.Were these something to do with Diamondback bitd? I've also got a ProLite 'aero' frame and forks in chrome.Its got oval tubing.I dont remember these- is it any good? They are both a bit rusty but will polish up ok.Any pics would be good

Looking at those pics in the old ad above, the frames look almost identical apart from the gussets.

But BITD, I always thought Pro Star was just a budget in-house brand which Freewheeler Leisure Products introduced to complement the high end Diamond Backs they imported/distributed.

They do look the same don't they  .  It was bloody heavy though.

You are right about the frames being the same apart from the gusset 'cause I got a diamondback frame at the same time.

oh god .. I had a prostar as my first BMX, i do remember thinking bloody hell this is heavy compared to my mates bikes.

And yep i remember seeing that advert , being really grateful that my mum and dad had bought me the bike but secretly wishing i had the one above it lol

That Red Aero Saddle looks totally huge what was the tt length like 11's or something or is it just the 10mm instamatic camera playing tricks on my eyes!

[brass monkey!]

looks cool in retrospect though

Yep, same my first bmx was a Pro Star. Loved it.

Check out the museum. There's a member on here who knows loads about them. He's got a few pics in the museum.

Happy days.
