Pretty sure this old survivor Randor Freestyle XZ fits right into this thread.

Here it is as I got it, 100% original (aside from the water bottle holder)



Here is it's current state, still have the chainguard and original wheels but i had these wheels gathering dust and the fit right in with the color scheme so i put them on. Also looking to upgrade the brakes but haven't got to it yet.

looks like a repainted Aero Reflex

With a badly bent front end,  ouch!

yup most have got hit by a truck?

My boy came home one day and said "hey dad, my handle bar is crooked can you fix it for me?" When I went to the back yard and that's what I found.. he told me he had hit a club and that was it..

I sold my Prostyler quite a bit ago now but they are very uncommon & rarely up for sale.

some of these are rare and others not so much. still worth posting here i guess.
im not a freestyle guy so i sell/trade them off to buy race stuff... redlines and prolines  to be exact.
i build catalog correct and rarely do anything custom or mix-match.

the last two may be too new. the dyno was a 92 i think, IIRC.

I have a few redline freestyle bikes as well but all are packed and stored.

Draw,
I really dig that Aerolite!  Killer collection

Survivor 1985 SE Racing Trick Master with 3rd Gen VDC Woody Bars.
The original owner swapped out the original bars for the VDC Woody Bars. When disassembled it was noticed that the stem shaft on the ACS 20 stem was bent and I did notice some green paint inside the cap of the original stem so the bike could have had green original SE FS bars or green Tioga bars, who knows. He also had it built with green Peregrine Master mags but I could not afford the asking price the second owner seller wanted so decision was made to purchase without the wheels.  I tried for years looking for the same all white ACS 20 stem but all that came up were '87 stamped 20's with silver/white cap so ended up settling on an original finish ACS 45 which I like better and SE ended up using on their Trick Master. Bike did not have levers and just the rear cable was still on the bike with it hanging out the front and the rotor cable piece broken off inside the Rotor.  I took apart and cleaned the original Rotor and replaced the cable. I found the original levers that SE used on these bikes, Chang Star Tech 4 style levers and the original CS 980 Freestyle calipers were in good condition still but front needed a nut for the anchor bolt and an adjuster.  Threw some NOS Chang Star brake pads on the calipers.  I also added NOS Spinner pegs.  The original seat had been cracked also and I found a used $7 replacement but I need to do some cleaning to it & has yet to be installed. Found some used Skyway OE mags which were stock for this bike and I cleaned them up as best I could.  Bought some NOS LHR Freestyle tires from Lenny back around 10/19/2012 which are perfect for this ride.  SE either used their own SE stamped Freestyle tires on the these bikes or a lot of survivors have been found with all white VEE Rubber tires.  Everything else is original to the bike.

So many cool pics in here the photobucket ruined ugh. These are not so rare and have been posted before but at least they are on the list. Bought the prostyler from a member here and built the general with as many nos/og parts i could find in 2 years
