good lad, but the questions have to be.
1, why did you wait 8 yrs? is this your holy grail, therefore forgiving any issues of buld /taste
2. explain to me your reasons of lusting after this particular bike.

must admit, it does it for me, but lets get into why.

phil.

waited 8 years as i could never get hold of one the only one i ever heard of was the one bodamus had and true to his word he gave me 1st if he ever sold it. i love the mad 80's looking freestylers the forks are not correct but hey its the 1st and only freestyler by vincent ive ever seen there has been a few airzone's etc but never the freestyler.

the welds are not great but if i remember right these were terrible bikes bitd.

to be honest im made up though the wheel discs were for z rims so had to find some blue z's instead of tuffs thats the main reason the spokes are covered up.lol

it was chrome originally but was quoted £300 to get it redone as it was fiddly.
