Title: Ammaco Freestyler details?
Post by: mightynimrod on October 29, 2006, 12:05 AM: Hi ya fellas, has anyone got any details of the old 83/84 Ammaco Freestyler range?

I *think* that there were 3 versions of it:

Freestyler Pro

Freestyler King

Freestyler Ace

Anyone got any specs or pics of any of them and the decals please?

Cheers

Steve

I might be calling on you if i manage to get hold of one - sadly original pics of the decals are thin on the ground.

Post by: davevilla on April 19, 2008, 09:54 PM: Re: the original Ammaco freestyler range - there is a review in BMX Freestyle Vol 1, Number 1. I have to be honest I haven't been dragging this fact around with me for 24 years, it's just that I picked up a copy the other day and the top of the range bike with spec, photos etc. is reviewed.

I can photocopy the review for any that wants it and send it(no scanner so no electronic copies I'm afraid :()

Post by: othomas2 on April 20, 2008, 12:43 PM: Here's what I did with mine... kinda of a miss match of parts but I liked it..an old school hybrid :)

This one seems to be unusual having a solid gusset... never seen another like it ?

Title: Re: Ammaco Freestyler details?
Post by: HEYWOOD BMX on April 20, 2008, 01:15 PM: :) I believe the later models had the solid/fully enclosed gusset.Probably a better idea as the early open gusset ones used to rust really quickly.

Post by: othomas2 on April 20, 2008, 02:04 PM: I thought perhaps it was an earlier one rather than later but that was what I was led to believe.

Either way I don't have it anymore lol...

cheers

Post by: dannywhiteley on April 20, 2008, 03:30 PM: The early gussets were buggers for cracking too... Probaby why they moved onto solid gussets.
