Dragonfly Double Dynamite Build
« on: November 23, 2006, 08:53 PM »
Thanks to the Ruler for selling me this... it was a bit of an impulse buy but I'm glad I bought it, the quality of the frame is excellent and its from around the '95/96 period. I was going to get this either chromed or powered as I thought it was painted when I bought it but the frame has actually got a sort of alloy plating on it, (its a Chromoly frame), I've never seen anything like it before. If anyone knows what sort of plating this is then please let me know. (polishes up well though)

I built it with a mix of old/mid and new school parts so its a bit of an oddball but I like the way it came out, I didnt like the original decals so got a custom set made up. Anyway, comments always welcome.

let the tuffs go though. not really suited to that kind of bike - it's primarily a flatland scoot

love those decals

The chrome one is a Dragonfly MC, almost similar to the double dragon but got a shorter top tube. i wont be parting with it anytime soon!

nope that isnt gonna be parted or sold. I may have a pair of orange tuff, a cruiser and another old school bike which someone is possibly already interested in.

Great for flatland tricks, turn your back and it puts a towel on your sunbed  :LolLolLolLol:
