Several mailorders still have these in stock, including Dans.

Streetbum, ok, I may have seemed harsh on my reply to this one. Though I still feel as if I finished the post in a humorus fashion. I also didn't have say anything *negative*. Your reply to this post was civil.

BTW, how many bikes do *you* own? Hmm?

SO is the celtics bike rare or not?

wds · 2009-02-03 12:28pm

Go try to find one then come back with your findings
I don't know if I would go as far to call it " rare" , but it was done for just a limited run. I don't know if the orig poster's info that it was stopped due to a cease & desist is true. But I do know that Kink never had any intention for it to be a permanent colorway. It was done for just one run of Freebirds, however many that was.
I'd guess that since it was about 3 years ago when this was done, they would be hard to find now.
Which of course, is when you decide you want one...

Well I have a chance to own a NOS one with no serial?

wds · 2009-02-03 1:59pm

Well if you like it, go for it. But even "rare" N/S frames aren't exactly hot in the resale area. Personally I think they're cool. But can't justify another frame to have sit around. Unless it was dirt cheap.
No S/N really deosn't mean much. I've had a variety of N/S frames w/out a S/N. Including a Kink.

they made a couple of them; the freebird, the jailbird and the larry bird

wds · 2009-02-03 2:23pm

Right, all the Ryan Sher sig frame. They were all actually the Freebird, but one run they did a Black & White "Cop themed" paint job - the Jailbird. Then they did the Larry Bird above.
Jailbird:
