Thats coming along nice its made me rethink mine now tho.

What you thinking Bruv??

Mines chrome with red tuffs and brakes etc which next to yours looks a bit ott i think.

Looking so, so sweet Dan

I have a set of MX rub ons you need, I replied in your thread but you ignored me

Send me your address and I'll post them down to you mate

Loving the green accent, not overdoing it which is an easy trap to fall into

Can't wait to see it finished

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #55 on:** December 16, 2011, 12:25 PM »

sorry I missed your post Tom, very rude of me, I do apologise. I'm actually ok for caliper decals now too mate, as Mark @ Retrospect sorted me out. Webbie mate, i'm sure yours looks fine, it would be naff if we all built the same bikes. I've only kept this simple cos I got the Z rims cheap and Del had the decals with the green on, already made. Also, I liked the way Mani's done the Fox, limited amount of green with black and chrome, looks lush.

That green is looking well tasty Dan.
Looking forward to seeing this done mate.

Cheers Glynn and all of you for your great comments.

This should be ready by Christmas, 1st ride is to the old DP factory in Flint for some 'back home' shots.

Ok...so this is 99.9% done now, padset arrived from Steve on Monday and the pedals off Dave (brummie).

I'm not sure about the cables, they're slightly more 'yellow' than I wanted, may swap for black, what do you guys think?? $:-\$

mattbloke · « **Reply #59 on:** December 21, 2011, 11:33 AM »

keep em green

also cos if you swap them for black it will look just like mine......

Wot he said!! Currently, your green in the decal and pad text is slightly orphaned. I think the green cables give the green a bit more of a purpose..

Looking good..

Paul

keep the cables,you must be able to find a set that match the green on the frame better,will look the nuts!!the pads look fantastic!

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #62 on:** December 21, 2011, 02:03 PM »

Is the green a Neon green ?

sorry hard to tell

brettypeeps · « **Reply #63 on:** December 21, 2011, 02:29 PM »

Green for me Dan - looks great buddy

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #66 on:** December 21, 2011, 06:21 PM »

Looking awesome that dude. Love a well dressed bird

A couple of green rear DC cables is what you need for a colour match dude. PM Kappy. I think he may have some

I got some of those 1st Terry, from Alan's, they're too dark, more like DC green, this is the problem i've got as pics don't really give a true colourmatch on the Bay.

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #74 on:** December 24, 2011, 10:10 AM »

Cheers fellas, i've tidied the front cable up with zip ties and will fit the rear cable when i've stopped drinking.

Sadly when Dave Park designed this frame, he left off the front cable guide on the back of the forks for a Potts mod, I have these on my GT and Skyway. Good old zip ties.

Looking forward to riding this now.
