Just wanted to share this GJS Freestyler I built this year. Some of you may have seen it at the show last June but since I no longer own this bike (damn wedding expenses!) I figured I'd share it here instead of entering it into BOTY. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

1984 GJS Freestyler

Salvage project: sanded down frame + repop forks + new powder & decals

This bike was purchased as a raw frame with reproduction forks. It was powder coated purple by Chip @ C4Labs to match BMX Museum member "Brutus" one-of-a-kind factory purple GJS (respect!)

Not sure if this is okay (copyright?) but figuring most of us can't read Japanese and this is only for sale in Japan, I'll go ahead and post it.

I just received my copy of Loop Magazine this afternoon. I ordered it on Amazon Japan and if anyone is interested in buying a copy you can CLICK HERE. I also have one extra copy stateside, please PM me if interested. Priority will be given to anyone who's photo or bike is actually in the magazine.

Enjoy!

Does anyone here happen to know what the best era-correct tires would go on an 82-83 Haro Freestyler? I'm currently running panaracer skinwall freestyle tires, but they're not correct for 83 (I think they're 85 or 86). Would Tioga Comp II's or III's be correct? I really have no clue since I've seen so many different tires on 82-83 Freestylers.<br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "><br style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; ">Thanks!
