Finally riding a big boys bike
Didn't see any of these posted here so thought I would show even though newer. Hope you guys dont mind. 87' was arguably the pinnacle for flatland freestyle ; crazy standers, platforms and bright colors were all the rage and available from many different companies.
Schwinn had a neat system of three steps for the models. The Predator Freeform Pro was at the top. Full 4130 F/F, bars, cranks and seatpost, YO 48 spoke hubs for strength, YO pat pend roller seat.... I believe the Yo may be a play on Yo MTV Raps, but instead is YO! Rock and Roll.
They may not get all of the respect of GT, Haro, Skyway..... but were better than given credit for with lots of cool touches. This one is all original except tires.

. I had an '85 Haro Sport in chrome. It was fun buying parts for these back in the day, starting with the frame, fork, and bars and then being able to customize pretty much everything else OR buying a complete bike and then mod-ing with rad upgrades like 3 piece cranks, etc. I love the colors of freestyle bikes of this era. Are those fork-standers (pegs) integrated to the forks or bolt-on? Nice Performer in the background too!
