just had another quick read (and a long think at what my GL Plus will look like) and from what steve say's "There is no way of accurately dating your frame as they only have a 3 or 4 digit number and no letters to indicate a month."

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #9 on:** July 08, 2012, 01:02 AM »

Shame no forks - but some one might come up with some at some point

this is my GL Plus (932)

I have the idea of what i want to do and the parts are coming together

looks nice,i bought some landing gear forks se 1985, for is and had it powdered today,i was gutted about the number as i thought it was a mk1 but i guess now its a mk2, still a bargain, i paid £40 for the bike, £60 for the forks and £70 for the powder coat so not doing to bad, i will put some pics up of the frame tomorrow when its light so i can take a picture out doors, ive tried to take one tonight but it doesn't show the colour at its best

rick1970 · « **Reply #11 on:** July 08, 2012, 01:21 AM »

bloody great score at £40 well done

not sure why your gutted its a mk2 tho they still early/mid 80's and stronger than mk1 due to slightly shorter top tube length the earlies broke at head tube apparently , mk2 all the way for me

dannyrobo2012 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2012, 01:25 AM »

i think i was gutted a bit coz i told EVERYONE it was a mk1 haha do you have any idea what year a mk2 dp is ??

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #13 on:** July 08, 2012, 01:26 AM »

Yup great price - i paid £140 for mine and it had Kuwi laser bars on it which i sold for £150, so i doing well so far

i sold the wheels off mine with a bent rear hub for Â£55 posted so the bike doesn't owe me anything, just the forks and powder, it looks like this after tonight

MKII's are better anyways buddy as the MKI's were prone to snapping around the head tube

A nice set of chrome CW's would look ace on that

dannyrobo2012 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2012, 01:51 AM »

really bad picture, how did you guess, i was going for white decals, ive even been in touch with a decals bloke on here about getting all white decals but he said it would be 1 to 4 weeks to come,i like things yesterday haha i was building it as cheap as a could,i was going to use some chrome bars that i have, i think there skyway ez twin bars,lay back seat stem,mx brakes in white with mx white seat clamp,ive bought a redline crank arms and a red line chain ring,thats it so far i did want white araya wheels but no look yet i have just bought some black arayas 1.50 and some blue arayas 175 and some aero zetec wheels but i dont think i will be using any unless i get the aeros painted white

dannyrobo2012 · « **Reply #20 on:** July 08, 2012, 01:57 AM »

i dont really no a great deal about old school bmx bike or bits,ive only got back into it about 7 months ago but ive been and looked at theses wheels time and time again, but the few people i know on here and have asked said if they were 1,75 they would be great but 1.50 would be to narrow on a freestyler bmx

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2012, 02:09 AM »

I would go with 1.75's and areo's in white - but it's all up to you

have a look at other DP on here

dannyrobo2012 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 08, 2012, 02:22 AM »

ive always liked araya aero wheels and ive had plans since i got the frame to get some white arayas,i bought some blue ones last week for £70 posted and was going to paint then white ,would you paint the rims or powder them white, also would you hold out for some rims on there own to come up for sale or cut the spokes out the wheels i have
