1986 Schwinn Predator FreeForm EX

BITD pics with me getting semi-rad.

These pics were taken June 1986 on the day I got this bike (this is all original except the grips that I swapped out immediately, and the rear pegs).
The bike didn't last long. I soon wanted a Haro and bought a green '86 Master f/f and transferred most of these parts to it eventually.
I remember it rode nice though. Wish I still had it.

Thanks! I just put one of these together last night, and let me tell you... my memory of it being a great riding bike... absolutely accurate. They have a very steep head tube angle and long top tube and handle fantastic for flatland. These bikes are so underrated and under appreciated, it's ridiculous. That one ('85) will be in the museum soon.
