1985 CW Racing California Freestyler Mike Buff
Grail Porn
Here we have a bike that took 5 years to build, but well worth the wait. I always wanted it as a kid, but could never afford one. It's my dream build, and will probably get buried with me. This is a first generation, CW Mike Buff California Freestyle. What makes it first edition? Check out the double coaster brake mount on the rear dropout, and the high forkstanders. This setup was reserved for the first 100 made, of which this is one of three known to exist. The next 100 (101-200) were made with a single coaster brake mount, but still had the high forkstanders. The last 50 (or so...this is up for debate) were like the second edition, but had lower forkstanders. I got this frame, forks and bars on the bay, and shipped it off to Chip at C4 for a few minor repairs, and a fresh coat of powder. The decals were sent from Juan at CW. Here's my parts list...
