my old dp firebird

[john4130]

found this old photo of me and my mate. i reckon i would have been 14-15 years old in the pic, so probably 23-24 years ago. i'm on the left rockin the all pink dp and my mates on a gt. he quit riding for about 10-12 years, got married and had a couple o kids. then decided he wanted to ride again, so i built him a bike and he's been riding again for about 4 years. think i'm gonna have to recreate the photo.

Sorry to be a geek but did you paint that pink yourself? just seen the coaster anchor on the bottom chainstay and I thought it was the GL Plus frames that were fluro pink... geek city 

PS. LOVING THE OGKS... I'm gonna start a thread for the OGK Boyz from BITD.

originally the frame was white, and not a gl. my brother was a mechanic and got his mate who was a panel beater and painter to paint the frame, forks and bars for me in baby pink. i did eventually get a master in the red, black and chrome combo and i had a chrome bashguard master. gonna keep diggin through some old pics.
