DP Firebird resto *FINISHED*

[vwfish]

Right after my Drama Llama moment last night and having the pedal spindles turn up this morning I decided to change the cable sleeves and build it up with the skyways and full red tyres.

What do you think?













Its growing on me

  I might try and get a White FS880 as you front calliper on a freestyle bike if you can.  Rare as hens teeth though

There's one for sale here

Coming on a TREAT 

If it was me...

Red Panaracer tyres / chrome seat post / red seat ( combo matches bars then ) / lose the pads for now

SWEET

getting there, but deffo loose the pads. The seat and grip colours should ALWAYS match IMO.

I'm thinking the same about the seat post and seat. the pans are coming soon and the OGK's will get their finishing touches tonight.

Thanks again for all the + comments and advice guys.

I can only go along with the other guys and suggest Red seat, Chrome post and no pads.... 

I'm so glad my build is going to be a replica of my BITD ride....If it ends up looking crap, at least it'll be old skool crap! 

[vwfish]

All done now. going to keep the race pedals tho.





Thanks to all those that gave me tips and supplied parts. 

[fischflo]

yessss!

fookin peachy - really liking that - stick it in for BOTM 



ogks over skyways ANY DAY

IMO keep the pads off and change the front brake to an FS880 with a hollow stem bolt and its perfect ... but feck dat... its lovely... you must be very chuffed... looks a lot like the way Glynn Lewis set up his bikes
