Very nice, saw that myself when I picked up the Turbo Lite.

You'll need to change the seat clamp and pedals as well. 

I see your point on the seat clamp but what up with the pedals?

Pedals on a Gen 1 Leary were Chrome cage, Black insert SR MP-134

One's in the picture are DB MKS, as found on Silver Streak (aka MX pedals)

I thought Leary Turbos came with chrome cages, polished bodies and chrome end caps. The streaks came with a chrome cage, black body and silver end caps. the cages on the SRs were allen bolted   the MKS were riveted i think.

Leave it Nick, mine will have DB ones on but doubt you'll get SR's..................

Unless you find the bodies, drill off the diamond cut cages of ya MKS ones and screw em on the SR's

Ive just had a look at the pedals and there is some evidence that the spindles may have been blue! There are slight blue bits all over. I will get some pics 2moro. Maybe they are correct?

One thing i've learned in the years i've been involved in this old bmx thing is that it's never an exact science. Stuff is not always as it came in the spec sheets. if a shop dropped the bike on it's pedals they'd change them out to the next best thing and so on and so forth.


And why is Danny's account deleted? Kin Mercman now i spoze?

Going to need one of these then?

I love the old DB's......Gremlin had a gorgeous Leary turbo in the show and shine and i thought it looked good enough to win in my oppinion.....but then my oppinion is normally always diferent to everyone elses  

Thanx Pickle m8    Now it's even closer to being spot on (i.m.h.o).  Plus my other one is coming along nicely too  .

Latest pic of the M.k '07 Turbo...
