Scored this from the bay & it arrived today, been stripped & painted at some point but not bad overall.
Got some ammaco/acorns with it too which Will clean up nice.
From what i can find out these we're not a high end bike when new so not gonna go bonkers with the bits...

they would but they'd cost more than the rest of it...
funny thing is i Was talking to him about decals for it yesterday as he had a futura which he's just sold....
-
Yeah it was his futura which made me recognise yours on the bay :daumenhoch:
-
That's cool I saw it on ebay very briefly :LolLolLolLol:
CW or CW copy Freestyle Bars would look cool I think. Tioga also did a version of the CW twin tube Freestyle bars as a cheaper alternative.
I still have my original CW Luggage Rack Freestyler but I also like these and the Meteorlites :daumenhoch:

Nice Richard,you are a busy boy!straight on to the next one!Your missus won't be happy with you at all if you go painting frames instead of the hall! :knuppel2:
Can't wait to see what you do with this!looks like Dordy is right,must of been made in same place as the meteor-lites.That one in the pic is the same bike but with the bent downtube. :daumenhoch:
I reckon those bars Bendy has got will look just right and very much like the bars that would have come with the frame originally if not the same :daumenhoch:
