"Coincidence?" or "good will" return

[Clothespin n]

Well it seems today " my first day off in WEEKS"
some Karma came my way..
and a whole pile of weird coincedince!!!!

while I was driving out and about today I spotted a
yard full of beat up bikes..
I saw the guy sittin on his back porch and asked him
if anything was for sale..
he said..pick what you want and get it outa here!!!!
most of it was late 80's junk..ahhh..not this one.
After all the posts of recent about "mixties" and "Mixtie Style" bikes..
and all the talk about Skyway Tuffs I found a bike that is neither one of those...
but all of those in the same respect.

I searched it out on Google and I still don't
know who made this bike.
It looks like an old "Torker" double top tube style....
but it's not a Torker..
yes I was drooling when I saw the double top
tubes thinking it was a Torker..

Then I saw the wheels..could they be Tuff's?
...Ahhh,doooh!!!
they are "Troxel Trackmasters"
all the same they are Very cool,
and I found me a great example of an 80's
BMX / Freestyle bike..

This should make an awesome Restoration project!

here's the before pic's after I trudged through a
pile of mud to get at her..

and what she looks like after a bottle of Fantastic Oxy Power
and a little help from the Electric Presure washer..

how weird is that..after all the talk of recent
to find this today!!

if anyone knows about the Troxel wheels..or the bike
which is a "Wolf Freestyle" please send me a pm..
I would love to learn more ..

peace,
Kev.

im gonna go out on a limb and say it's a torker type japanese knockoff.

probably from otasco or the like.

something about the wolf part cries japanese.

you should try bikeforums.net and post it on the antique and vintage section, those guys can identify anything.
