I also just noticed for the first time (or had forgotten and re-noticed) the complete lack of brake bridge on that frame.
Doesn't change the fact that every time I see this pic I want to go back in time and dumpster dive for it.
no brake bridge , but under side 990
I did spot that. I'm just curious if the lack of brake bridge affected the rear end at all in terms of flexing.
Incidentally, Rick posted some more on his FB page about the final days at Hutch, but I can't seem to find it there. He may have deleted it. Rick's an amazing guy, still rides and is very open about his life, both the good and the bad. His FB posts have made me look at the world a little bit differently, I'm sure he wouldn't mind people sending him friend requests:

Do I owe you feedback? Please remind me via PM and I'll take care of it.

Rick Allison Custom Trick Star replica!
Well this has been in the works for about a year and is finally complete. I've been thinking about this project for more or less all the time i've been collecting.
I'm sure most have you have seen the Vans ad with Rick Allison riding his modified Trick Star which was put together when Rick went over to Dan Hanebrink's workshop in Big Bear CA back in 87/88. And some of you will know that Rick snapped the frame and threw it into the garbage.
Well i thought it was about time someone recreated it.
Not many pictures seem to exist of the original bike so it has been a lot of work getting this right and i think it came out pretty good.
Massive thanks has to go out to so many people who had an input and who helped make this happen…
Phil (sawzall) is the man who put the frame together from a damaged US Trick Star i picked up on BMXMuseum. There was a hell of a lot of conversations about this and i'm sure i must have got on his nerves a bit, but he really went the extra mile and produced some amazing work. The rear end had to be removed and rebuilt and canti brake mounts, and guides for the cables added
SuperBikeDan for the paintwork and putting up with me toing and froing trying to get the colour right
