DP Freestyler - Mk1 verses Mk2 dimensions

[punkdSICO]

Hi all - I am now the proud owner of my second DP Freestyler.  They are both identical in dimensions and last night in this forum, I though my first one was a Mk2 as it matched someone else's in here who has a Mkt2.  The one I got tonight, the seller said it was the longer Mk1 but, its the same length as my first.

Both mine are:  42cm internal dimensions (shortest distance/metal to metal) from the seat post to the head tube.  If this is not clear, ill do a little diagram tomorrow.

So, do I have 2 Mk1s or 2 Mk2s??  the DP site does state that the Mk1 is 4cm (1.5 inches) longer so it should be easy to distinguish.  Shame they dont mention the actual dimensions..

Paul

the MK 1 did not have serial numbers and the MK 2 did is the easy answer

Forks on a MK 1 are wider aswell

Ah, well both of mine have a serial number just above the back brake mount.  So, I have 2 Mk2s ??

Cant really say bout the forks as both mine are the same..

That is a Sweet ride and was worth the BIN price in my opinion.. Great scor.  I was discussing it todat and saying a power disk and set of red panaracers would just about finish it

Yeah, Im still not sure why I bought it - the last thing I wanted was a bike Im scared to ride.  I really can not state how incredible this bike looks in the flesh; it is just spotless/perfect..  The thing is, I did some basic calcs on how much it will be to tart up my other DP Freestyler.  Even being completely aggressive on how little I could get away with spending, it still worked out cheaper to buy this mint DP.

I paid £650 for the mint DP and I think, depending on what I do next, the bike will actually end up costing me as little as £500, maybe less..

I have a few questions I need to ask about the bike but ill do them in separate threads.

Ta,

Paul

Cheers Steve, I thought that was the case....

My White DP doesn't have a serial number, but has the wider forks and the later (?) decals.....

Seeing as it has no serial number should it have the narrow forks....?

I need to go and measure the top tube....

Black and white work quite.

I had a Mk1 Firebird Freestyler from OT Cycles when they first came out.
It had the black / gold "Firebird" decals on the frame and forks and the gusset plate behind the headset was smaller than on subsequent models.
