Some of you might have seen the knackered DP with the snapped downtube that was knocking about at MK11 and in the DP tent @ MK12 ... well it ended up with me

This is how it was when it first surfaced

...and after a good strip & clean ....

The downtube was cracked through and the metal was a rotten mess... the top tubes were like bananas and the rear drops were cakkaaaaa...

...so I managed to talk The Grand MRD Wizard Mr 'Animal' Steve into having a crack at fixing it ... I didn't hold out much hope as it was FOOKED but if Phil or Steve couldn't do it then it would have to stay 'dead'

I was meeting up with Steve at the RAD Meet at Terminal 1 on Saturday ... and he brought it with him ...

I was grinning like a loon Gaz ... so SO chuffed ... Steve was teasing me a bit so I thought I would leave it then he just wandered up with it

I was amazed at what he had done ... the bit that really stuck in my mind is when Steve gave me a stern face and told me not to be trying any crazy tricks on it ... like endos

...and thanks for your part Gaz... as Spen will tell you ... a very Small Part is better than no part at all

Its off to Dan after Christmas for a coat of Pink then one day it might look like this ...

Is that one of those funny unbranded seats with 'free style' on the side in the pic Ed? $:-\$

Spen69 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 18, 2012, 08:18 AM »

Steve told me he'd sorted the top tubes out a few weeks ago and swore me to secrecy last week as he wanted to bring it to T1 in person rather than post it......

There would definitely be a lot more landfill frames if it weren't for Steve and Phil on here. Top bombing our kid - let's just hope fat Ed doesn't start doing tricks on it eh?
