Been playing this evening
« on: February 19, 2015, 08:48 PM »
I picked up a DB senior pro frame at MK last year (cheers steve for the heads up on that) and kept my eyes open for the proper forks for it.  Well the gent Sawzall had a set that he'd 'fixed' and would need a re chrome.  Mid school Olly did me a huge favour and picked them up and took them to the chromers for me.  It took a while but he picked them up again from the chromers and they arrived this morning.
The chrome is superb!

So I grabbed my frame, headset and decals and after my chili I sat and put it all together.  I'm well pleased with how its come out

Cheers guys, always loved the chrome and black DBs and I wanted a fixer upper. This will be a rider and done a little different than the usual.  Might be a while though as I'm moving house soon  :daumenhoch:

Nice frame set that.  :coolsmiley: Will look very nice built up.  :daumenhoch:

Was it just the Senior Pro that had the double fork dropout? What year is this too?  :-[  :-\

mines lovely. Done a fair few pub miles on it already. Don't what the geometry differences are between yours and my early small gusset pacer but being a higher end model compared to mine it can only be better

Its got a 19" top tube so miles longer than my Viper which is probably what your pacer was taken from?
