Full Version: Boy, this looks familer....
Is biglou who I think it is? didn't he already own that one?
lol
lol
And where'd the matching forks go? There's something wrong with some of these people... that bike needs to be built up as a replica of the one RL was doing the miami hopper on in that poster that came with Freestylin', with the torn green and black paper background. I am tempted to do it myself...
I shoulda bought that when i had the chance......
Lou did do it, and it was at rockford last year.....
Then he mentioned something about taking it all apart and placing the frame and forks in his closet....

Butchered a perfectly good frame to make it look like somthing that its not, I wouldnt pay 50 bucks for it..
However, I did dig it when it was built, but he shouldnt have taken it apart. The frame is pretty much worthless w/o the correct parts to make it a replica. My 02...

Thats my baby. Stephen made the frame for somebody and they used it as a rider. Nothing wrong with that. I bought the complete bike and started replacing parts to make it original. I had it at Rockford without the brakes but they knew what it was. I heard somebody say "thats RL Osborns old bike". lol.
My mistake. I did have the calipers on it. lol. 
That bike is beautiful. It needs to be put back together. I don't understand why someone would separate the forks from it. Senseless...
Here are the pictures of how I got, and what I did with it.
You will also know this frame,. because the side plates on the head tube are welded wrong, from the company....the plates are not aligned and placed against the head tube in the same place....see picture below....

If you're going to go and cut the gusset out from between the top tubes, why not also remove the cableguide?
Would look good with grip tape, I think.

That's my old frame. Stephen did a nice job fixing it up. Lou bought it from me and not sure where it went from there.
It was a nice ride. I had a lot of fun cruising around town on it. It was a real head turner.
Where will it go next?

Whew, I wonder what a set of those BMX Action pads would bring ? - jeff
I found a set but they were the earlier ones, snaps not velcro. I think it was $150 shipped. I was ready to pay untill I seen the snaps. I gave up on it because it was frustrating finding a few parts. All the rare stuff that was on it went to James. If I get it back, I`ll definately put it in the closet for a rainy day.
Hey Lou, are those the forks, bars and stem that you sold me?
i know a screen printer
When it left me it had white bars and forks. Just like the pic form Rockford. I see that he pulled it off the bay.
