Got it finished today! Still going to swap out just a couple small things when I get the parts, but we're both really happy with the way it came out. It started out as this Tioga Crazy bike wannabe:

...and ended up as this!
F/F - 1985 SE Quadangle Freestyler
Bars - CW California Freestyler NOS
Stem - GT Mallet stem NOS
Headset - Tioga Beartrap II -new
Grips - Mushroom II copies (until I can find some originals)
Wheels - Skyway Tuff II's
Brakes Odyssey 1999's front and back
Odyssey Gyro
Levers - ACS locking levers (not sure of model) NOS
Tires - Pink, something new, brand??? (rider tires)
Cranks - Redline Flight (new)
Chainwheel - Redline 43T w/old logo
Pedals - CW Grinders NOS
Chain - Pink and chrome ??
Seat - Tricktop NOS
Seat Post - chrome layback
Seat Clamp - Odyssey
Skyway NOS pegs
This one is going to Rockford with us too. It's totally a rider so we can all ride around together this summer. We just need to get one of those baby trailers for Vivi and we're all set!

Thanx guys! Lets see that pink and white one too. Here's a few more of this one.

I'm going to put some old school stickers on the cranks. They're brand new, but I think it will loook cool on them. We also have a pink TufNeck chainwheel for it but I'm still looking for a black disc to bolt it on. When I find one that will most likely be switched out and maybe then a black chain.

Anyone have any of these California Freestyle stickers? This one keeps coming up like this. I'll probably have to spray it down with some adhesive, but if anyone has any let me know. I have a few other sets of these bars that need them too.

That's it! We left the Reynolds sticker off because the green and yellow in it just didn't go.

LOL, I don't know James. I've thought of it but we're going to see what we can get, then I'll see what we can do with it. Brooke's awesome at sewing so she might be able to re-do the canopy part of it in the colors and we'll see about the rest. Whatever one we get I'd like to get some little black Tuff Wheels for it. I saw one in a store the other day that looked like it had little Peregrine type mags on it too.
That one's really nice pieter! Love those SE bars!!!! The rest of it too!

My wife is all about it as well and is hip to the lingo and everything LMAO
Your wife...a side from the sandals LOL looks very natural on the bike, do you guys go out for an occasional ride ? Is this her first Freestyler ?
Can you please scan the Uni Air decals for me (selfish plug couldn't resist)

So Sweet Don!!!! You got the wife rollin on pink Quad with 20's nice build Now you need a minnie for your doughter

Thanks for the compliments!
She does have pink and black vans. Those just happend to have been the shoes she was wearing at the time I finished it and she wanted to take it out right away.
This is her first freestyler too. We're hoping to do a lot of riding over the summer. It's been a long cold winter with not much spring so as soon as we get the baby trailer we'll be out all the time I'm sure.
I'll get you those Air Uni decal scans too, I'll send you a PM about them right now.

SWEET!!
I'll have to show this thread to teh wifey - maybe it'll make her want a 80's freestyler of her own.
Hey - you're wife already had some black clothes on...if she dyed her blonde hair pink, she'd match the bike perfectly! THAT would be RAD!
