I may have a silver Chris King headset lined up for the Dirtbike soon....Possibly a set of chrome Slam bars too. Still got a few parts to change so I'll put up new pics as I change parts.

I bought some more parts for the Dirtbike...
A NOS set of Kool Stop/GT brake pads for my DC 990's, A set of chrome Slam Bars with the basketball decal and also a set of JP square pedals. Can't wait until all my parts arrive....Will take pics once everything is on the Dirtbike

New parts look great. Good choice on the chrome slams.

Cheers for the comments everyone

I was going to put my Chris King headset on the Dirtbike but no matter what I tried it still had a heap of play in it. Been told that they don't really work too well with Pitchforks due to the compression bolt. Anyone here successfully running a Chris King headset with Pitchforks?
I did have my bars back a bit but wasn't really too keen on how it felt so I have my bars dead straight. When I end up building a Holmes again I'll have the bars back a tad to compensate for the longer toptube.
