DB F1 is finally done!!!! pic heavy
« on: April 05, 2011, 01:08 PM »
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  :shocked:)

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  8)











Hope you like?

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

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.. :D

Thanks Sid.  :daumenhoch:

That is very nice Sid :daumenhoch:

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