I'm building up my rickman freestyler, has anyone any bike mag info from when they can out (mine is an 84 model with the fixed pegs). do you know what parts they had on them? like seat post, stem, cranks, brakes, pedals,seat, seat clamp, I have got some ideas on some parts i want to put on it but any help is greatly appreciated

Are these rickman's any good, quiet rare arn't they $:-\$

STUMPYLEE · « **Reply #4 on:** July 27, 2009, 08:33 PM »

What would you expect to pay for a frame and forks

mates had em bitd reynolds tube, brazed , there rare cos they all broke , head tube pull straight off, usually whilst six foot up in the air , then the top tube would stick in your leg or worse when you hit the ground

all the one i saw were white but i think they did a chrome $:-\$

there's a couple on bmxmuseum the white complete looks like most of the ones my mates had but that one is missing the stands, black ones look nice though

They did one with a diagonal reinforcement bar from the seatube to the downtube to.

They did come as a complete, i used to have a scan of an advert, but I cant find it. Im sure it had blue skyways.

Fantastic pics from BITD on this post - all the ingredients are there from the summer holidays 1983-1985...

1. BMX bikes with wheel covers etc.
2. Nike windjammer jackets
3. Puma tennis trainers with those really, really thick soles that wouldn't bend - Boris Beckers I think
4. Overcast skies

Took me back that...

...feeling wistful today...
