Pro's are 192.25.001, Experts are 192.25.002 on the serial numbers. If it was originally white then they'd be a (W) next to the serial.

Nice that, i'd love one of those bad boys.

Thought you had one Andy ?

 its weird the serial number  denotes that it should be chrome but the guy i got it from swears he used to race it & that he got that & a freestyler from his Uncles bike shop brand new (John Lee in Higham Ferrers Northants) & it's always been white from new.

 it's been re powdered but you can pretty clearly see the number: 25.001 same on the forks & theres no (w).. might be a factory mistake & kind of unique ?

easy nip the end kaps out . undo the nut on the end of the spindle . remove spindle . use grease to hold the bearings in place . there should be enough in . then swap spindles and put back together  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
