Hi folks,

coupe of bikes should be completed this week (finally)

First! DB f1.

it was a solid/unused bike to begin with, it was just a bit rusty & unloved..

Fitted:
Nos spokes, Nos cables - new dicta rear sprocket (could not afford £65 for an original suntour 16t : 3/32

)

Nos decals (thanks Sparky) - Sorry lads had to change em they were letting the frame down because it's lush and at least the decals are original

Hope you like?

Oh, I could use a black single lever cover - if anyone could help.

Big thank you to those on rad for their support and help - you know who your are..

2nd build coming up in a couple of days..

Thanks Sid.

That is very nice Sid

I've got a single black sharp lever cover that was new before being on a Tech 3 lever.

tires are original they came like that from the shop, standard on all f1's I believe.
